Help with calming baby
Hi!
Did anybody’s kids ever go through a phase as newborns where they would lose their absolute mind if anyone but you(mom) was with them?
This past week my 10 week old started having complete meltdowns when I leave, like will wake up from a nap/dead sleep and lose it, and nothing my husband does can calm her down. He’s getting so overwhelmed, and sometimes I have to go to an appointment or something when I can’t bring her with me. She will just cry the entire time.
I don’t know what to do to be supportive to him, but he loses his patience fast and then I get all worried that he is going to lose his temper and yell at her. He doesn’t want to talk about it and I don’t know how to help the situation aside from just doing literally everything with the baby

Yes! It was so hard to even let my husband take care of her and figure it out for himself cuz I just wanted to take over. But I was with her all day, I knew her cues and such. I just wanted to take over everything but I knew he had to learn so I stepped back. It’s kinda the same situation now with her being 5, I have to step back and let her do things on her own even if she’s struggling just a little bit so that she learns but it just gives me an itch to just step in and help
Does he loose his temper and yell at your baby or is that just a worry you have?

It gets better. At 10 weeks she still can’t see fully yet so it’s harder to recognise different people. She’s been with you the most im guessing? So she’s more used to your smell, feel, way of doing things. Also, babys don’t have object permanence yet, so when you leave, she thinks you just simply don’t exist anymore. Remember she’s still so little 💗 my baby was exactly the same and is now nearly 6 months and is fine with most people and has even had my mum have her for the night and be perfectly fine. Sending love ❤️
