by my 3 month old! Every single night of her life I have been the one to put her to sleep. I think DH has done it once. I am the one that can get her to calm down no matter what. Tonight, I fed her, played with her, got her changed in her jammies and sat down to read a book with her. She started fussing and then all out screaming. DH came in and played his belly drums (yes, he plays the drums on his belly and it makes her stop crying in seconds) but that wasn't working. I asked him to hold her so I could wash my hands to check for teeth. The second I handed her over to him, she stopped crying. I checked, no teeth. So I took her to swaddle her up and put her to bed. As soon as I took her, she started screaming again!
We traded her off a couple of times and each time I had her, she cried, each time I handed her back, she stopped. So he rocked her to sleep and tucked her into bed. And I sat on the couch feeling sad that I wasn't putting my baby to bed and that she wanted nothing to do with me! Silly, I know. I should be happy that she is bonding with DH and he gets to experience that fun stuff too, like snuggles before bed, but it still makes me sad! Am I totally crazy?!

my what to expect book says sometimes a person switch is what they need to calm down. not personal but they can pick up on moms anxiety.
My brain knows this, but it wasn't talking to my heart last night. I think they had a fight.
