DD is now just 4 months and in the last couple of weeks hasnt been smiling at daddy like she used to and when going int he bath with him will scream, i mean really really scream! whereas if i take her in she is fine, same thing whatever time of day and regardless of if she is happy beforehand! I had to go out last night for about an hour over bedtime she was fine, had been in the bath with me, ready for bed and having her last bottle when I left, apparently she started screaming as I left and still was when I got in, I calmed her (didn't take long) and put her down (still awake) and she went to sleep as usual.
Tonight she was really happy and thought Rob would take her in the bath, but before he even got her undressed she was screaming, i went up calmed her got her undressed and within minutes of handing her to Rob in the bath screaming again (and real tears!) - got her washed and i dressed her and put her to bed!
I am not sure what to do now - she is 'ok'ish when sat downstairs playing etc - but not her normal cherpy self... Rob used to take her in the bath everyday but it has become more and more me as he sits on computer and when he holds her he just lets her sit there and plays computer/watches tv - he is playing/talking to her a bit more but i really have to encourage him to do it.... any ideas??? what else can i do?? is it just him needing to spend more time with her??
