Any ideas how we can get DD to settle for DH? She's 7.5 months and for about 3 months now she won't settle in the evenings for DH.
The evening routine is supper (solids), bath, supper (formula) and bed. For me, she is a bit grumpy during her milk but calms down and most nights goes into her cot awake but drowsy and falls asleep. For DH she gets progressively more and more screamy and het up during her milk until (often 45 mins later) I take over a hysterical baby who immediately calms down and goes to sleep. During the day DD and DH get on great, in fact she laughs and smiles more for him than me when she's playing.
I'm supposed to be going on a big girls night out at the end of the month and don't want to have to arrive late and worry the whole evening that DD will wake up and won't go back to sleep. Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do, other than keep plugging away at it?
