7mo DD2 is bf and mostly blw, and DP hardly ever looks after her (maybe 8 hours a month, if that). He says that she just cries and cries when he looks after her and nothing he does can stop her.
She is quite a clingy baby I suppose, she does like to "snack" on bf but I have watched my mum give her a bottle of ebm so she will take it, although DPs parents say the same, that they can't settle her. She won't take a dummy and much prefers to be held or in a sling than put down and often co-sleeps with me.
DD1 was bf and DP would give her at least one bottle of ebm a day and they were fine, and DP and now 3yo DD1 get on really well now, but I worry that this isn't happening with DD2. I am working two afternoons at the weekend (luckily in child friendly jobs) and DP says he will look after DD1 but he can't look after DD2. When I said I would have to ask his mum instead then, he got upset and said he just isn't coping with the baby and he will have to take on more overtime so I don't have to work.
Any tips for getting a semi attachment baby (she does normally sleep in her moses basket or pram, just sometimes cosleeps and sometimes rides in a sling) to be attached to more than one person?
