Baby prefers dad

Ok. I feel crazy writing this. But I am crying. My baby is completely crazy about her dad. She laughs and talks to him non stop. I never get that much affection from her. I know that she is excited because she doesn't see him everyday, she is breastfeed and 4 months old, probably she still sees us as one being but I can't stop being upset. I feel like a failure and one thing that I do right now is take care of this baby 24/7 ans she doesn't even like me. Anyone feel the same?

Yes! Exactly the same. I feel bad as it sometimes annoys me. He is hardly around her, I am breast feeding and have always done all the nights but he is the only one she will laugh for, and she absolutely loves chatting and smiling for him. I know it is a good thing and I should be happy but sometimes I really resent it, I wish I didn't

I had this with my first daughter. She still prefers him now, and she's 3! I try and look at the positives. If she's in a bad mood, it's him that she's going on at 😂 At the end of the day when I tuck her in at night she gives me a big kiss and says love you mummy. Our babies love us, they just don't know how to express it yet!

I feel exactly the same! My little boy is the same age and he laughs so much at seeing his dad which in my eyes most of the time it breaks my heart. Honestly the only thing that keeps me sane is knowing that he still believes we are one being! Like how special is that, they truly believe that we are combined, such a pure soul thought. I always remind myself of this when I feel awful about it.

I felt this way in the beginning, but I knew I would have my time! Her first smile was at her dad and she would only look at HIM and not me! I tried interacting with her, but she just wouldn’t look directly at me. However, now, she loves her mama. I got her first laugh too!
