@ohnstadk, see that would annoy me too.

@littleonemorning they won't take him even before he gets fussy in anticipation of him getting fussy though

I’m with @mommytok, as well. I get your frustration cause it’s like nice to have a “break” especially with two little ones. But I get frustrated when my mom has my youngest and he gets fussy, so I go to take him and she says “no, I got him.” Like.. no, I want my baby back now please.

I understand where you’re coming from, but also, I think it’s kind of a respect thing to give baby back to mama when they appear upset, so maybe they’re doing it for that reason? If I was holding a baby and they started crying or fussing with me, and mama was right in the same room, I would absolutely give baby back. I wouldn’t take it personally. That being said, you can sit down with your husband and explain how important it is for him to bond with him. Maybe they can do skin to skin to help calm him down.

I am sorry you’re going through this. sometimes people just don’t understand my son was very cranky baby and mostly liked to be held by me, now that I have Natalie I noticed people always want to hold her and she gets so much more attention then my son did. Most people didn’t understand he had reflux and colic and it took a lot to soothe him. Maybe express to them that they need to treat them the same because it isn’t fair to your son? I don’t know it’s tough but I can see how you would be upset no one should be treated differently.
