DS whines w DH? BM issue?

Olivebeinmamma

I feel bad because DH thinks DS doesn't like him. DH still hasn't figured out that DS is still little... 9weeks... And needs to be held, rocked, bounced etc. he's not the same as our dd that was content with laying there.

I've been putting him down more for him to get used to it but DH I'm sure doesn't hold him nearly as much as I do. I worked the last 3 days and DS cried or whined all day for 2 of them.

DH says he's not taking bottle from him. But hes taken one from me no problem. both older frozen and fresh, hot and room temp.

Idk the bottle last night tasted a little funky. So I took out an old frozen BM, one from Friday, and fresh pumped. I'm going to check all 3. I'm hoping its not the lipase thing because then I have 300oz of wasted BM... Sad face! So, well see.

Tips anyone? I feel bad for both DH and DS. Especially because I don't like DS crying all day!!

Oh I hope your stash is ok! Yikes that's a lot of bm! You go girl!

Sorry lo is being so fussy with dh. Why is dh so hesitant to cuddle with DS? Could DS be sensing your dh's nervousness?

This is going to sound weird, but try giving a cold bottle. Not hot or room temperature, straight out of the fridge cold. Kaley was like this with my H and he gave her a cold bottle [just swirled it around to mix it, slapped a nipple on and shoved it in her mouth] BOOM. She's takes it like a champ from him now. Could be something to try.
