Baby preferring her dad

[tayyaba123]

Hi

I'm new on here.
I have a baby girl who is almost 8 months and I'm
Currently 5 months pregnant.

I've noticed that my daughter is taking a preference to her dad. She will see him and jump up and down yet doesn't do the same for me. I do everything from feeds, nappy changes, absolutely everything.

We live with hee grandparents and she also seems happy with them. Is this normal?

Any advice would be soo helpful
Thank you

I think it's normal! My daughter does this but sometimes she will prefer me and then switch again. I think they just get used to us being there. In a couple of weeks you might be the sudden favourite!

How old is your little one? This morning she cried for me too so it's just confusing me.

I also suffer from PND so maybe that's what's also triggering my thoughts

Thank you for your reply

It's normal but super heart breaking
Babies don't really associate mums as being separate from themselves for a while.
Also as you are literally always there she can't get excited to see u?

This is what I tell myself when my baby gets excited to see dad or grandparents and I get a grunt lol

She probably doesn't get as excited to see you because you're with her so much doing her care. It's such a good sign that she feels safe and familiar with you that she doesn't get the suprise of seeing you! It means you're meeting all her needs and she's securely attached to you. I bet if you went out for the day and came back she'd be jumping up and down.

Please seek help if you have or think you have PND, you don't have to suffer alone x

She's 18 months and still changes her mind now! It's so easy to take it to heart but as time has gone on I know she doesn't mean anything by it
