Demand feeding this faithless baby

Yes little tummies; yes demand and supply. Every other hour - totally fine. As long as you like - I won't hassle you while the house falls to ruins without me.

Explained all this to sympathetic DH. Loaded him up with bottles for his special daddy daughter morning. How many feeds did she take in four hours? How many snacks? How many little grumpy interludes?

NONE. FREAKING NONE .

And now - delighted as I am to have her back in my arms - I'm wondering how to get myself a slice of 'daddy rules' treatment?

Sorry, I don't really understand.

I understand...mine is the same. Feeds on and off all day when I'm around, through the night etc. Morning with Daddy and he normally just sleeps for 4+ hours! How does he even know I'm not there since he's sleeping?!

Yes - at home with me she would have fed 3 times in that interval.

If I'd taken her out - I would have had to stop halfway for an interminable feed. She would have half fallen asleep on the feed - then woken up raging - and I would have been hopping foot to foot trying to settle her with boob/dummy/rocking/shushing/promises of cash and presents.

DH said she stayed awake in the car, then chilled out for a bit at the venue then dropped off to deep sleep walked in the sling.

Ungrateful wretch! Mine is the same.

Yep exactly the same here, DH jokes about how easy I must have it as she's as good as gold for him. Takes her bottle of ebm and promptly falls asleep for hours.
