Baby refuses anyone but me to rock to sleep

Have yall tried sleep training. I would definitely suggest trying. We did the Ferber method and it was great

My daughters the same, will only settle for bedtime with me been like it all the way through bar a couple of weeks where she did settle with dad but then she got poorly & only wanted me, my partner does do bath time & get ready for bed every night (unless he’s working late) but she just wants to play with him & gets all excited, don’t get me wrong we do try with daddy doing put down for bed but she’s sometimes get soo stressed,screaming etc I do intervene as I hate to see them both upset it really gets to him, the separation anxiety IS REAL with her at the minute too I leave the room she cry’s, I even got off the floor to sit on the sofa and she CRIED😳 I just keep telling myself she’ll grow out of it but we’re 10 months deep & still going🫣

Have you tried not being home? I know it sounds silly & I always feel mega guilty but I’ve been for tea with my friends a handful of times & dad put to bed just fine, I rushed home once & she was fast on xx

no, any form of cry it out isn't for us. No judgement for parents that do, but we just couldn't do that to him.

thank you for your kind reply! We do the same, he often does after dinner play, bath and then bottle we thought this would help but then he still cries so much when it comes to bed.
I've not been able to have an evening out since he was born, I would absolutely love one but I'm worried he will cry himself sick. Maybe I need to be brave and just leave them two to it?!
How did you get her to settle with him for that time she didn't mind?

Yeah totally get that, I went out for a friends birthday meal felt so guilty that she’d be crying herself to sleep that’s why I rushed home but she was fast on, dad said she cried a little but nothing major, I think it probably helped he did everything that night, she didn’t see me much (but that isn’t really a long term) Have you tried feed to sleep? This used to work a treat when she did settle with dad at night, we had like 2 full weeks where daddy put to bed, it’s a lot of pressure isn’t it you feel bad for baby not settling then feel bad for dad not being able to help even though they want too xx

by feed to sleep, do you mean get my husband to bottle feed him to sleep? Annoyingly he often fights his night bottle and has never fallen asleep on it. I used to breastfeed so I assume that's why.
Good for you for having an evening out, but I completely get that guilt feeling. I have a night planned in 2 weeks and I'm scared! But need to remember he is safe, fed, warm etc and it's hardest on us really!
My husband also feels so upset that he can't help, it's such a tough situation.. Maybe it gets easier as they get older?

Yeah my little one used to fall asleep on the bottle for bedtime and we found that helped but sounds like you’d have trouble with that if he fights it anyway, bless him!
Yeah he just sees you as the main comfort but it’s tough when you don’t ever get a break💖

bless you! that’s what you need to keep in mind, He’s loved and cared for so try not feel guilty and enjoy
yourself!

I just keep telling myself that, we know she doesn’t hate daddy and she’s loves playing with him and gets so excited when he’s home from work but she’s just with me all the time and I’m her main comfort, before we know it they’ll be asking daddy themselves to put them to bed and we’ll be upset they haven’t picked us xx

You can also pop me a message if you need a chat/rant/moan etc about anything, judgement free zone here xx
