My DD is 16.5 months old. She has always been a bit of a Daddy's girl and I think I can see why.
When she was born she had very severe painful reflux and just wanted to feed constantley to sooth the burning which in turn was adding colic to the fun!
I was advised to spread the feeds a little so DH would walk the floor with her. If she was held by me at all she wanted fed so could never be comforted by me. She even slept on DH's chest for 6 months.
I then had an under active thyroid and didn't know it so couldn't rouse out of sleep in the morning, it was like I was in a coma.
This went on for a good 6/7 months so DH used to try to bring me round then go and get DD up, give her her reflux meds and walk with her for 30 mins as you can't feed them right away after meds. I would then stumble out of bed and breastfeed her.
This became our routine so DH has always picked her up in the morning and walked around with her now he can't put her down even though reflux meds and breast feeding stopped at 1 year.
When he comes in from work she just wants to be carried around and he just does it or she screams, broken hearted that he has put her down. The more tierd she is the worse it is.
We have a nearly 4 yr old son so I was always so busy I didn't care that Daddy was her favourite, it gave me a break when he got home from work.
Now it is really causing problems. Ive noticed our DS is really badly behaved when DH is home. Real attention seeking behaviour. Very jealous of DD and basically it's a nightmare.
DD has now decided that only Daddy with do when he gets home. She also asks for him repeatedly throughout the day and it's getting to me now.
Tonight when he was going out and I was trying to put her to bed but as usual because he was standing there she was screaming and kicking to get out of my arms to DH. He eventually had to take her to her cot and when I went to kiss her goodnight when she was in his arms she turned away quickly to get away.
I love my DD so much, I absolutely adore her. I never shout at her or do anything that would explain this. I certainly don't have the time to pour over her that I had with DS when he was the only but who does?
I play with her as much as I can but Im also so worried about DS.
DH feels bad too and he is worried about DS but it's just hellish if he tries to put her down she just about self implodes 
. She literally starts banging her head on the floor in temper so he will pick her up.
Apart from this she is a happy, cheeky little minx with a sociable nature and is affectionate.
Any advice please?
