I am looking for some perspective on this if anyone else has experienced the same. I am a SAHM to a nearly 4 year old and nearly 2 year old. I have been at home since my DD1 was born. I EBF my first until approx 15 months, i had to stop for my mental health as she was an extremely bad sleeper. It varied from waking every 45 minutes to sometimes every 2/3 hours. I am still breastfeeding my DD2.
Anyway towards the end of my second pregnancy I slept in a separate bedroom to get some proper sleep and my partner took over night time duties. This has continued since then. He still puts her to bed and i put DD2 to bed. DD1 is extremely rigid about bedtime and if I try to put her down she screams non stop. Not only this but if she wakes she will not let me settle her only DP.
She definitely has a strong preference for my DP over me. If she falls over she wants daddy for comfort. She wants daddy to sit by her. She wants daddy to play. I really don't know what I am doing wrong. It doesn't seem to just be a phase either as this is going on for 2 years. She just prefer him. Has anyone experienced the same? It's making me very sad really.
