So I'm pretty happy right now, my husband actually put the baby to sleep on his own without getting frustrated and handing her over to me. I know it sounds dumb and he never did this with the first two but they were also bottle fed once they got past three weeks old, this one is breastfed. For some reason any time she gets fussy at all he automatically assumes that she wants to eat and just hands her to me. I tried to explain to him before that she's full and just needs comforted in a different way and today was the first time that he didn't just assume that she was hungry and he actually tried to work with her. And it worked! I'm just happy it kind of proved me right and also showed him that he could do it. Hopefully this is a new trend and he doesn't feel so discouraged with her just because I'm breastfeeding!

Mine does the same because he didn't know but I just let her cry with him. They have to figure it out. I'm going to work soon

@beebaby our kids are almost the same age, cool! Yea I think he just didn't know what to do he's used to being able to just feed them to see if that's what they want and I'm sure its hard to not have that option I guess you loose some control but he's getting the hang of trusting me when I say she's full and stuff. He wants to be able to "top them off" I guess but when you're breastfeeding you don't want to just stick them on over and over again cause that shit hurts when they're not really hungry. I'm rambling lol anyways, I'm just happy he actually tried something else and it worked!

I agree And my daughter had a tongue tie so i was dying. But eventually it got better. After about 7 weeks. Dad's are waiting for the honeymoon stage of children where they can say come here and the come. They don't want the crying needing to be held all day thing.

I was gone for 2 hours and come back and he looks like he has been through hell. Now you know how I feel buddy and it's only 2 hours not 24

@beebaby Yea she's 6 weeks so I'm hoping it gets better soon. O yea he's already admitted to me this isn't his favorite stage for children and that's alright everyone has what they like he's a great father so I don't mind. His favorite stage is the one right after this probably from like 4 months to like 10 months I think. He does alright by himself but I'm never really gone too long yet cause she's still so little.
