Hi Girls
Just wondered if any of you have experienced this so young. Anais is ten weeks old and is a very good baby - she sleeps all night
, eats well, etc. BUT she only wants me.
Dont get me wrong - I am happy with this as she is not really demanding and is happy to coo to herself for long periods when she is awake. The problem is that when she wants attention, she really wants it from me. With her father and brother and sister she bawls her head off most of the time. This is getting poor OH down, as he is a very devoted dad, and i really dont know what to suggest. She will often giggle for him if I am holding her, but rarely if she is in his arms. It is wieird because i didnt have this problem with my older kids from previous marriage but then my ex was a lot less interested in them...
I wonder if it has something to do with b/f babies, and i didnt notice with the older ones as their dad was not really into babies.
I am even thinking of expressing so that Ani can have a couple of bottles a day given by other members of the family. Another point is that I am thinking of beginning to wean a bit early and add fruit puree to her diet. Does anyone know if it is OK to give her fruit before three months?
I am open to suggestion...
