Can your partner soothe your little one?

My little boy is 18 months and his dad still can’t do bedtime or soothe him in the night. He’s a super present dad, spends loads of time with him, and he still doesn’t want daddy!

It’s normal, you have a 9 month advantage. Your baby will get used to your partner eventually. Just make sure the only one holding the baby.

After 7 months, it still a struggle for my partner to put baby to bed.

My LO actively screamed when my OH came anywhere near her it was very stressful. We persevered and he would spend a few mins on his own with her while I went out of sight and just built up the time. Now she is 10 months and is an absolute daddies girl. Now she cries when he leaves the room x

My fiancé started doing bedtime around 18 months old so my daughter would get used to him as I was pregnant and she’s been absolutely great with him. If anything she won’t settle now for me at nearly 2.5 years old🫠 before 18 months old it was very rare she’d settle for him.

However, my 14 week old will not settle for him. I had to cut my bath short as he wouldn’t go to sleep for my fiancé😩x

My baby is 17 weeks and won't settle for anyone apart from me. My husband and mum have both tried and he just wants me....hoping it is just a phase and he will begin to settle for others in time.

My 7 week old is the same, will not settle for my partner at all since he was about 1 week old

My daughter didn’t settle with her dad or anyone else for that matter until she was about 8 months old.
