Did anybody's DH suffer from Precious First Born syndrome?

Mine did. When I was having a sleep, DD was just a few days old and DH tried to latch her on to his nipple, thinking she'd find it soothing.

I tried very hard not to laugh.

Did she bite him?

Dh wouldn't go home. Other dads came into visit and left, but he spent more time on my bed with dd than I did.

The midwives and nurses were getting fed up with him

DD had a kefalhaematoma (huge lump on her head) and DH wouldn't let anybody touch it until it went down....she was 10 weeks old when it went down

DH sat and snarled at anyone that dared come too close to DD.

DH told me off for using my (well-washed with antibacterial soap) fingers instead of using the dinky tongs in the steriliser to handle the teats.

Oh yes without a doubt! For a start dp refers to ds as the Lord or his Athlete.

When not working he refuses to let me change or bath him as he is the only one who can do this thoroughly enough.

ds still has cool boiled water and is not allowed to eat anything that does not contain nutritional benefit.

Also not allowed to watch tv as he sees this as brainwashing, radio only!!!

Srongly believes that any other baby is inferior to his own!!

Believes McDonalds, computer games, consoles etc constitutes as child abuse and in his eyes ds will never have any of these.

This has been going on for 10.5 months!!

I remember dh grilling our midwife about ds1's dummy:

"I know we have to sterilise it - but how often? If it drops out in his carry cot do we have to sterilise it again before putting it back in? Or is it OK if it's only fallen out inside the carry cot?"

She fixed him with this withering look and said "You're the microbiologist. You tell me."

LOL mm, he isn't really, is he?

marthamoo · 16/02/2007 14:01

midwife called dd "chunky" (she was 10lb4oz). she had no idea how close she came to dh whacking her

paulmorelsmum · 16/02/2007 14:04

Mine certainly didn't - when the midwife came to see us on our first day home his first question was, 'Right, how do we get her to sleep through the night?'
She ROFL....

franca70 · 16/02/2007 14:18

No

Hulan · 16/02/2007 14:20

Not sure if this really counts, but DH is convinced, and I really mean this (worrying slightly) that when we conceived DS that he 'made' him a boy. Because he has the receipe. Has also subsequently reassured me that next time he will ensure that we have a girl (he also has the receipe for that one).

BigmummaL · 16/02/2007 14:35

Dp is also genuinely worried about having another baby as he fears that that they won't be up to ds's standard!
