Baby constantly wants Mummy
25/11/2008

Hi there, My 15 week old constantly wants me and only me...whenever anyone else (Daddy included) goes to feed him/change him/cuddle him he screams the place down. It is tearing me apart to have to watch the hurt on my husbands face as I know he has done nothing wrong. I have tried to distance myself as to the amount of times I pick him up when he cries but that doesn't work, when he has been fed, changed etc...I leave him on the floor to kick out and play...that doesn't work. I can only imagine how my husband feels but it's beginning to tear us apart...PLEASE HELP!!!

my son is exactly the same but there aint really alot you can do and your hubby has got to understand its not your fault and in time everythin will change you seem to be doin everythin right you carnt force your child to go to someone else the only thing you can do really is keep trying to get dad to have him while he is feeding and more in the day and eventually the baby will get used to it it just takes time trust me hope this helps xx

hey - my little girl was the same for a little while. My partner is only home 1 weekend every 3 weeks, so its really upset him when our daughter didn't really want to know. she's now 18 months old and has grown out of it. There are still times that she only wants me, but he's more understanding now. They are just more comforted by mum, they grew inside us for 9 months. Try to relax a little bit more and your baby might do too.

I'm a single mum & my 7 month old is like that, thus I don't ever leave him! I have however recently allowed his Dad to bath him on the odd occassion he visits & our son gets very confused & is constantly looking around for me. I'm still breastfeedin, so that makes my son extra clingy too. I don't have any support around, so guess Joshie feels threatened by others as he used to it just being me & him 24/7. I am hoping he will grow out of it one day! Amy & Joshie x

hi my little boy is the exact same and he is now 18mths.its a nightmare.he wont let his dad do anything and wont let his dad near me.he gets really jealous and hates seeing me being near other people he just wants my constant attention.im now pregnant again and worried about how he will be with the baby.its easy for people to say you have to gety him out of that which i get told all the time but ive tried everything.its not as though hes not used to other people,his grandparents watch him when im at work and i made sure when he was a baby that he got used to seeing the family so he wouldnt be strange.he seems to be fine when im not there.i feel as tho its got harder the older hes got.sorry for going on a bit.xx
