thanks for all your replies girls,

Mia decided she liked daddy tonight!  he got hugs and smiles and was allowed to feed her and put her to bed..."funny" just as im typing this shes just woke up...daddy to the rescue...little diddle that she is

Hi im not experiencing it to the point where my los dont like daddy because they both have lots of smiles etc when he gets in and clearly love him to bits, but the older twin by minutes lol is a real softy and such a mummys girl, even if daddys there if she sees me walk away from her she starts crying. Think he was a little phased by it he thought theyd both be daddys girls! Im just hopign the clingy stage passes but i think it should like the other post said just try adn continue with him spendign as much time as possible with her x

We're going through something similar but slightly different....my DS won't feed for my husband at all whereas when I feed him, he gulps down everything really quickly.

Benjamin gets porridge or weetabix for brekkie in the morning and if I'm feeding him he'll take a full 8oz bottle plus his spoonfeed brekkie in about 20 minutes but it took hubby an hour and 40 minutes to get him to take 4oz of milk and about 2 or 3 spoonfuls of food, my husband was really upset about it!!

I told him that, because he works a lot, when Benjamin sees him, it's such a novelty that he thinks it's playtime and doesn't want to be bothered with eating, he just wants to look at his daddy, so that made him feel a little better!!!

thanks girls,

we'l see what tommorow brings,...iv'e just read on net that it not so much not likeing daddy,but more like ,dont want to be away from mummy..so thats helped him a bit.bless him.xxx

I'm not yet experiencing this but I'm sure it will come soon...as someone else said, ds  (5 months on Tuesday) looks at me when other people pick him up - as if to say..."why aren't I with u!"...

My friends dd who has just turned 1 year had the same thing at about 6 months where she only wanted mummy, but then at about 8 months she went through the stage where she only wanted daddy!! So u never know...your oh might get his chance to be the 'wanted one'!!

They do grow out of it...it's just one of the unfortunate phases they go through!!

Good luck x

Hi!

My dd is doing this, except not with daddy but grandpa. I feel really bad as my dad loves children and was always playing on the floor with her, trying to teach her to crawl etc and then about a week ago, she wouldn't let him near her! All he did was come into the room, saw that she was kicking around on the floor and went and sat next to her, she started to howl! So I picked her up and she calmed down, she then turned her head and saw my dad and cried again!! She is fine with my mum though!

She does cry though if i leave the room (even if my mum and dad are there) I don't live with my parents ( I live with my hubby) but my parents are only about 300 yards away so i see them most days.

I too hope she will grow out of it.

My lo is 18 weeks and has just started getting a bit funny with other people, luckily not dh, but he'd not seen his grandad fo a few days and when he did he started sobbing uncontrolably and looking at me like I'd handed him over to a complete stranger!

I think I'm going to strat going to a mother and baby group to get him used to being around other people.

As cute as it is the way he looks at me when someone else is holding him, I don't want him to end up clung to my leg when he gets older!

hiya,

ds1 was like this and really clingy with me, he was even worse if dh had been at work for a couple of days on the trot, it was like he was punishing him for not being there. ds2 is now 5 months and going through a clingy stage too, if i stand up he cries thinking i'm leaving him. it will get better hun, just keep on giving them the special time together xx 

Hi,

My daughter has suddenly taken a disliking to daddy,2 days ago he was the bast thing since sliced bread,but for the past 2 nights when he comes in from work and picks her up she goes mad...hes really upset.She usually has a bath with me before bed and then her and daddy have hugs and he feeds her and puts her to bed.But she doesnt want anything to do with him,now i have to do it...anyone else's lo do this.

I read somewhere that at this age they can be a bit funny with people ,but hes a really good dad and spends loads of time with her so dont know whats up
