My dd who's almost 1 have always been close to dad as he has been wfh since covid.. however this summer I went to my home country with dd to spend time with family and I was away for a month, since we came back in aug she has progressively preferred dad... now it has come to an point were I feel actually hurt when she's in pain or upset she wants daddy. I am currently also 6 months pregnant and dad has helped more recently with bedtime which I've done myself since birth. Is it weird that I am feeling this way? I love my daughter so much and had many losses before conceiving her that now that I finally have her she prefers her dad and I can't help to feel like a failure as a mother.

Also don't get me wrong I love seeing the bond that my dh and dd has, I am so grateful that she has such a great father.

Happens in most houses. Do not take it personally. It could easily be you and her dad left out.

It's actually a good thing they've started bonding like this now because when the new baby comes she's going to be with your partner a lot while you tend to the new baby. Find a special way to connect with her each day and don't focus on who's "favourite". It's ok to feel that way but just don't let it get in the way of enjoying your daughter. (Coming from a mum whose mummy's girl has become a daddy's girl ever since the new baby came home ...)
