DD - 14 months, doesn’t want me for comfort. Making me so upset.

My DD is 14 months, she’s quite a strong willed and lively toddler, she’s not the most cuddly baby but I’m not a massively cuddly person myself so I get it.

She currently not well but she literally doesn’t want me for comfort. Only her dad. Even when she is well she doesn’t want me if she’s tired / wakes up in the night / when she’s upset. She literally chooses to have a cuddle to go to sleep from my sister rather than me. I don’t know what I’ve done / am doing wrong.

I found it lovely at first but now - after last night her being awake from being unwell and being held by me was making her scream - it is making me so upset.

I am worried we won’t have a special bond / she doesn’t love me and won’t love me, and won’t want cuddles from me ever. I maybe sound dramatic but I am also exhausted.

When I say I’m not massively cuddly, I’m really loving with her, give her 1000 kisses a day, as many cuddles as she will let me, I absolutely adore her and love her and I show this.

I’m averagely cuddly I suppose with friends and family!!
