11 week old refuses to let dad give him night time bottle

For the last week our baby has cried and cried and cried and screamed when my husband has tried to give him his 6.30 bedtime bottle. He is fine any other time, usually weekends as he’s working daytime. He only wants me to give it because as soon as I hold him he stops crying. Please tell me this won’t last, I am missing out on putting my older child to bed as I have to feed him at this time every night. Any experiences or ideas why he’s suddenly switched, was fine last week, also he has becoming increasingly difficult to nap for long In the afternoon. Feel like I’m missing something or something isn’t right. He naps half an hour 8.30-9.00, then 2 hours 11-1, then half hour 2.30-3 and another half an hour 5-5.30.

It’s really normal for small babies to favour one parent (usually mum!) for bedtime. Can you move bedtimes around so you can see to both kids or can daddy put your older child to bed for a while?
