First post here so be kind! Looking for ideas to try to rectify a difficult situation, our dd can't be happier when I'm about, but has recently started screaming when her mum holds, plays or even touches her. I work full time, mum works 3 days a week. I've always been very hands on, but never more than mum, I think I probably play a bit more with her (in a rolling around on the floor type way) and she's always settled really well for me. Today has drawn it to a head. Mum has been away over night to see a friend who's due in 10 days, so I've had her to look after. Mum got home about 3:30 and since then, any touch or cuddle has resulted in screams (and a head butt, but this is better than the bite from last week!!). If I take her, she'll settle instantly. Mum is obviously really upset about this, and I'm desperate to do anything that will help. Currently mum is saying she may as well work full time and let me work part time so I can care more. This is in my mind going to make things much worse but I'm just devoid if ideas in what to try to get their bond back...
