hi my daughter is 15 weeks whenever she cries my hubby can't settle her until she's in my arms and I've tried leaving her but she gets so distressed!!! What I worry about is when I need to leave her to go dentist etc she will get so upset :-( also she willnot go to sleep for him!! He's watched how I do it and everything!! I think she sees daddy as fun play mate that's it... Any ideas or advice would be appreciated!! Will she grow out of it naturally?
Thanks

Instead of trying to do it like you do it, let him try his own way. If he's trying to be like you, she'll know it isn't you and push against it. Whereas if he tries his own thing with her, she'll be more easily able to accept that this is someone different, but he's still familiar and so that's okay.
