Hi I'm a first time poster, normally just read but I really need advice! My dd 16 months has always been a mummy's girl, she just always wants me. Recently however it has got to the point where she seems to hate her daddy.
She is a really affectionate baby (always kissing and cuddling/running into my arms) with me, and sometimes with other friend or family, but she will not do anything with dh. I'm really baffled as to what's going on. She won't let him read to her (she just holds the book out to be saying mama mama) put her to bed (she just screams) bath her (more screaming) feed her (won't eat) or even be alone in a room with her (again more screaming)
My poor dh is so upset by this and is backing off from her as the constant rejection if making him so sad.
I'm also exhausted as it would be lovely if he could do things with her to give me some downtime. Feel like I can't say this to him though as I am the lucky one in this.
He is honestly such a lovely dad but she just won't have any of it. I really don't no what to do!
