Am I the problem?

Are you breast feeding? If so, your baby will smell the milk. I have had exactly the same issue. He goes straight to granny and auntie etc and sleeps on their chest but rarely does that with me. I think it’s because be smells my milk and just wants to be latched on as that is his comfort and all he knows. My baby is 7 weeks today. X
I'm exactly the same as @Alexandra she just always wanted to latch if I was holding her, but was pass out on most other people. She's started to sleep on me more now, and will be 6 weeks tomorrow. Don't be disheartened (I was feeling exactly the same as you)
I'm still suffering this with my 2.5 year old, they see us as their safe space so will act up more with us than other people. The world is still so new and overwhelming so when us mother's hold them they let all their emotions out. My toddler will be an angel at nursery but turn into the devil when he comes home 😂 Also agree with the milk comments.
@Amy 🍉 glad to hear it’s not just me. My boy is much more settled at moment and is getting better sleeping on me too. X
I was going to also ask if you were breastfeeding! If I went anywhere near my son when he wanted a feed he would get really upset. I actually stopped holding him when we were at other peoples houses as he would just cry. He’s almost 8 weeks now though and I’m currently glued to the sofa with him as he will only be comforted by me so it will change! I say make the most of having some time to yourself whilst you can 🤭
Babies also settle better with daddy’s as there heart rate slower then mummy’s ☺️ ( because we need to answers daddy’s silly questions😂 and that’s sometimes increase our heart rate …)
@Alexandra I am breastfeeding but I haven’t breastfeed in a while so I’m not sure if it could be that 🤷🏾♀️
@Louise HAHAHAHA that last bit got me😂😂that’s too cute I used to work in a nursery so trust me I fully understand what you mean
@Bethan lol I sure will Bethan 😂my partner goes back to his country today and he’s been the one mainly looking after LO alongside family helping out while I’ve been recovering from having a c-section so I’ve trying to use that time wisely to look after myself big change today (gonna miss him🥹)
@Kinga this is cracking me up I completely understand what you mean asking ridiculous questions raising up our blood pressure and stuff 😅
One thing I experienced with mine was, if i was stressed or anxious, my baby wouldnt settle. If he was crying and I was getting worked up, I’d pass him to my other half and he’d settle almost immediately. I’m not saying its the same, but try to stay calm, as the baby can sense it! X
