to think it can't possibly be that hard

[caeleth]

To talk to your child??

DH seems unable to comprehend how it works. He can drone on and on to me about things i care nothing about (mostly cars), but DS gets a "hi ds......hi ds..........

I think you are giving your DH a bit of a hard time. My DH was never very good at any of that, in fact he will openly admit he finds babies boring!

Fast forward to more of a toddler stage (they are now 3&7) and he really enjoyed being with them. No harm was done in fact they are now all incredibly close and adore him.

I think for some people it can be that hard yes! Maybe just let it happen rather than trying to force it.

The only problem with that is that in less than a month he'll be at home with him while i work. So he doesn't really have the luxury of waiting till he's more interesting

Well I've been a sahp with all my babies, and tbh before they were 7/8 months and beyond, I was good with cuddles and kisses, but not much up for the chat. It gets easier when they start to smile and laugh back and so on....but up till then I didn't have an awful lot to say to any of my three. Hasn't done them any harm at all I have to say...

Think you're worrying about nothing.

Oh - and despite what all the baby books had to say, I didn't much read to them either I'm afraid. Not as little babies, not until they were that wee bit older and I didn't feel like I may as well have been reading to the dog.

your baby wil be that little bit older and a bit more responsive your husband will be able to pick up on the babies little habits you really need to give him a break and a chance he will be fine,

I didn't read to my babies either not at 4 months is that what your supposed to do

you're*

I hope so:-)

Like i said earlier, i don't really care what he doe long as it keeps DS happy, it's just that sitting still in silence isn't exciting enough for him ae was hines, then screams.....chatting, and as suggested, reading seem to good places to start

.. as he whinesErrr
