Hi
We have a 6mo son who seems to
go through phases of not being happy to be with his dad.
DH thinks that his behaviour is extreme; crying/screaming/panting, until I come and get him and then he settles. He says that he is worried he will struggle when he gets older and that he seems to have some sort of anxiety or nervous disposition.
Baby does get very worked up and upset with his dad and we can’t see any good reason for it, other than maybe separation anxiety, but he does seem to go through unexplained phases of it. He will be fine for a good few weeks and then something will set him off again and will scream, cry and pant if left on his own with DH.
Can anyone share any experiences like this so that I can reassure DH? Did your babies end up having anxiety issues? Were they particularly sensitive? Or just normal part of being a baby?
(For the record, I’m not concerned. I can see that it is not nice for DH and he wants a reason for the screaming, but I think the reason may just be Baby with a capital B!)
