I have a 4m old Velcro baby. He’s bf so I’m with him the majority of the time. Lately whenever he’s left in the care of his dad, even if I’m sat in the same room, he screams until he gets hysterical. Proper high pitched screaming not just crying. As soon as I take him he calms right down. I tend to go to bed first and leave a bottle of ebm so his dad can feed him and maybe they can bond but it’s not working anymore (it did previously) and the baby just cries & screams without taking a break. My partner is getting distraught convinced the baby hates him and I’m getting exhausted with having to constantly hold him and do all the childcaring alone (I’m autistic and getting no wind down time) In the meantime my older child is feeling ignored as this is such a high maintenance baby.
Any advice on solving this situation that doesn’t involve leaving the baby to cry it out?
