Scared to leave baby with partner?

Sounds similar, I trust my husband explicitly with our son ...however he doesn't respond to the crying. He will just say it's wind as he's colicky and won't think to tick through everything else first like a wet nappy, hungry, cold/hot etc. He would eventually get there but not before they're both red in the face and at their wits end and crying. Son is only a month old so we are all still learning and I'm not planning on being away anytime soon

I agree I trust my partner completely but he just doesn’t have the same patience as I do. I’ve never been away for longer than a food shop, I’ve felt too guilty doing it knowing my partner gets so stressed. He doesn’t understand his cues yet, and what starts as a small wine over something simple likes wet nappy, he ignores until it’s a full on cry and was very easily avoidable. I’m planning on stepping back for a day and letting my partner be as hands on as possible but I can still be close, but he needs to figure it out

Nope. I've just booked a weekend away baby is now 10 months. If I can't leave him with his dad then who else's can be trusted

I’d warn against this mentality because there’s so many posts on here from women who have been left doing everything because the man has taken advantage of them for reasons like this, and then it becomes the norm.

I agree with the @leah, he’s the dad, and he needs the opportunity to learn to care for the baby alone.
