FTM with a few questions

Sorry if these have obvious answers, but I'm a FTM and feel pretty clueless.

DS is great, but we're having some issues. This week he won't nap unless I'm holding him. He used to nap just fine if I put him in his bouncer, but now he doesn't. Add to that, if I try and put him in his crib or the bouncer he wakes up and cries after 5 minutes or so. Anyone with tips?

Also, LO is crying a lot more this week. I thought it might be acid reflux, but he doesn't cry when he eats or spits up. Just randomly. Like when falling asleep he starts kicking or will arch his back and cry. Anyone know what's up with that?

Finally, DS does not like DH right now. When DH gets home from class or work usually around 56 and he takes DS so I can do other things like shower, DS will cry and scream bloody murder the ENTIRE time unless DH is feeding him or giving him a bath. I know it's a phase because he is used to me and my scent/voice/touch, but what can we do to alleviate the problem? I feel bad because I know it frustrates and makes DH sad he even cried about it last night because LO cried and screamed so much plus it makes it tricky for me and I have to rush while doing anything so I can get back and hold LO... Help?!

    We're in the exact same boat!! Napping and sleeping don't happen unless being held. Never had that problem before!! Also extremely fussy and not content most of the time. All was fine until last Friday and then a switch was flipped. Is there a five week c

    Your baby sounds completely normal.  As far as the DH thing goes, it makes total sense if you think about the whole fourth trimester thing, especially if you are BFing.  Baby is used to mom's voice, heartbeat and smell.  It brings them c

    Ditto PP, this is all totally normal as much as it may stink to deal with. They will grow out of it...hopefully as quickly as possible! :
