My little girl is 5 months old and is such a happy little thing, when she's with me. If I leave her with anyone at all she just screams until I'm back and as soon as I walk into the room she's all smiles and laughs. She's breastfed and is so clingy.
Her dad (my partner) doesn't seem to have any confidence when it comes to her and is so quick to just hand her over to me. He's done a handful of baths and very very rarely changes her or even plays with her. This isn't a massive issue but he seems to think she needs to take a bottle (I kind of agree, it would be nice to be able to go out for an hour or two and just be me) but won't do anything to help. As soon as she spits it out or fusses he just calls me and says she needs boob.
Does anyone have any tips on encouraging baby to take a bottle? Or just be a little less clingy.
I'm really struggling be the only one that can deal with her and seeing how frustrated he's getting and just everything.
