Baby favours dad ..

I love the fact that my little girl loves her daddy but I can’t help but feel so sad sometimes, I come home from work not seeing her all day I pick her up for a cuddle and she just reaches for dad and cry’s when he leaves the room , even when I’m there! I don’t want to take it personally but it still hurts sometimes 😩 am I not fun enough? What am I doing wrong? anyone else the same?

Im really sorry you feel this way. Im convinced it is not beacuse you are not fun. Babies dont look for fun, they look for a safe base and attachment. If she spends more time with her dad it is just natural she favours her dad. As long as she can form a secure attachement to either parent that’s a good thing

I say I probably have her more than her dad as I have two days off work in the week. It started before I went back to work. I suppose that’s what I worry about is that she doesn’t find comfort or feel secure with me.

My 13mo has gone through a “daddy” phase for the past few months and is now in a “mummy” phase! Try not to take it personally and just be there for them even when they seem to only want dad! X
