LO hates my husband

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Not really but the last 3 nights he has been inconsolable while H was trying to put him to bed. LO is fine with H any other time. Has anyone else experienced this? As soon as I step in he stops crying. I feel so bad for H. It also prevents me from having a much needed break. Any suggestions?

    yes exactly but if I'm not home-she's fine.  If she knows I am home she will pitch a fit if he tries to put her to bed.  I haven't figured out how to break it, he just keeps trying and eventually we give in.

    I think you need to keep giving it a go. Dont step in to rescue, but instead talk to DH about what works for you with LO. If that does not work your DH with find a way to sooth your LO in his own way. It may take a few nights but if he sticks with it and you do not rescue it will happen.

    Good Luck, Love your siggy pic BTW?

    When DS is fussy or fights his sleep I am the only one that can relax him..

    Hang in there!  DH and LO are just now really starting to bond.  I am home with LO all day (DH works) and DH has taken two different 5 day trips since LO was born.  I think this has a lot to do with why he prefers me.  But DH has started making a point to be home for the night time routine, to watch DS when I have a doctor's or hair appointment, and do the morning routine so that I can get in a workout.  Yesterday, for the first time, DS was MAD when DH left for work.  He didn't want me to hold him, play w/ him or anything.  Then when DH came home from work, all DS wanted was his dad.  It broke my heart a little, but it also made me really happy.  Not only does this mean I can get a much needed break, but it's really rewarding to see DS and DH forming the same kind of bond that DS and I have.  It also made me feel better when DH told me that DS behaves the same way most of the time when I leave.
