TW uncomfortable topic - husband gets hard when daughter on his lap

I feel super uncomfortable writing this but I want to know other's opinions/ experiences. Is it normal for my husband to get an erection when our daughter is on lap, climbing on him, bouncing about. I have noticed this more then a handful of times now. It makes me uncomfortable he says it not sexual but stimulates from the movement and is not within his control. I'm not a man but I don't know I just don't like it. He gets annoyed when questioned says I'm reading into nothing and insinuating he is attracted to our daughter which he denies. I also noticed when she was being all cute and saying I want daddy after she got off. He has never ever done anything to her is this all in my head!?

It could happen from friction, was it a full on erection?
My husband said it could happen but he has never gotten a full on erection and I have never noticed.

What’s your daughter age?

I apologize if I'm wrong but didn't you post about this some months ago? I saw someone make a post very similar to your post

this is what he says is causing like friction from her bouncing about. it does seem to be almost full erection so I said take her off it's inappropriate which he says I'm sexualising it and men get randomly hard apparently..thought that was just teenage boys😕

I would honestly keep an eye out for that, if I’m over stepping my apologies but speaking from experience that’s how it began for me.. I recall sitting on this particular family members lap and feeling that and always being hugged on.. If that happens I think someone should remove the child from their lap, and, life happens but why keep her on him with that and what if she goes to grab it cause kids are naturally curious.. I would just say observe and got with your gut..

I gotcha. I was only asking because if you were the same person who posted about it some months ago I was going to say I'm sorry that you are still dealing with this.

This doesn’t sound normal to me

IMO - That is NOT normal! If a father knows playing with a child and “rubbing” where it shouldn’t, causing an erection because he can’t control himself, then stop doing it!! This is not cute, normal or okay. That will only get worse if he can’t control himself or heaven forbid, he enjoys it. That will cause trauma to your daughter for the long run.

Maybe he needs to wear compression underwear? So there’s less bouncing/movement going on in his pants to signal excitement in his brains? 🤷🏻‍♀️
I’d feel uncomfy about it too, but this is when you have to realize you know your husband well enough to know that he’s a really good dad and husband (🤞🏽 hopefully 😬)

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?
