Hello, this is my first ever post! Not sure if I've got the lingo right... Wanted to ask some advice and can't seem to find another post that has the info in it, so here goes...
My 5 month old baby boy often doesn't like being left with anyone else, including my partner (his daddy). He is a generally chilled out baby and takes lots of things in his stride. We recently tried leaving him for a few hours with my mum and (on a separate occasion) my partner. This was in the morning when he's generally at his happiest and it worked well. However, the main issue is that I regularly go out to a class one evening a week, leaving the house at 7pm, just before he normally gets his bath (the baby, not my partner ) and my partner says he starts screaming almost as soon as I'm out the door and doesn't stop for the next couple of hours when he tires himself out and eventually falls asleep.
Do others think it's a bad idea to be doing this at this stage? I would gladly hear any other people's stories of how their baby gets on with their partner and any suggestions on how to improve things between them...
Thanks!
