Your help would be appreciated ladies....
Ds2 (4 months) is going through a phase where he goes absolutely ballistic if dh tries to settle him at bedtime. Perfectly happy to be held / fed / settled / anything else by dh (who is a very hands on dad)during the day. We didn't have this at all with ds1.
This has happened the last 3 times dh has been putting him to bed (we alternate the boys bedtimes). Ds2 has settled as soon as I have gone in to help. Dh doesn't seem to be holding him any different or doing anything different to me. And I'm not bf and haven't been since he was 6 weeks old so don't think its anything to do with that.
Any suggestions as to what we can do about this and why it is happening? I have heard of children favouring one parent when they're older but not this little...
