I have ready plenty of these threads but it's currently evening time, she's asleep and I'm up with a cuppa having a little cry and just wanting reassurance from strangers lol.
DD is (almost) 7 months and since about 3 months old has shown way more excitement and happiness towards her dad. He works FT out the house, has a fulfilling and busy social life that has continued after baby got here and hobbies. She sees him every day morning and evening and also on the weekends when he's home. I do everything else for her but she's always just smiled more for him but I guess come to me for comfort. Today she woke up from a nap abruptly and I saw on the monitor so sent DH to get her, when she came back down I reached out for her (assuming she would want feeding) and she screamed and rejected me. She has done this all evening since 3pm (now 8pm) and finally fallen asleep. She cried when he left the room to let me put her to sleep and I feel abit beaten now. Doesn't help thay DH family only show enthusiasm when she reaches out for him, makes me feel awful.
