Hi all, don't post very often but a long time lurker!
I have a 2 year old boy and a 5 week old little girl. My husband is a very loving, hands on, brilliant dad. Now, the baby will NOT have him hold her! She screams hysterically when he picks her up, even if she was perfectly settled before, and stops screaming when I take her straight away! She is breastfed, tried to give her expressed milk in a bottle so he can feed her but she doesn't seem to have the hang of it yet. She is also fine with grandparents, friends, anyone really, apart from her dad!!!! He is obviously really upset, didn't have anything like this with our little boy and he was breastfed as well. Has anyone experienced this? Can we do anything to help?
