Putting down for bed or nap

Same here and my bf gets aggravated cause he’s non stop crying and he tries very hard to calm him but nothing works I can even shower mama 😣

Funnily enough, it’s way easier for my fiance to put our daughter down lol. She does clam down with me when she’s sleepy, but she makes it so hard for me to feed her sometimes, especially when she’s already tired.

I’ve always put my daughter to sleep except for a handful of times. My husband has put her to sleep once or twice but she’s 10 months now and he has tried a few times so I can get a break at the end of the day. She would not have it at all, she cries until I go back and will immediately calm down and fall asleep with me. We are still trying to figure out what could help. In the mean time I told myself I will enjoy that she wants mama.

The best advice I got was to let him do it. Don’t interfere. Let him be a dad especially if he wants to. Don’t give him advice, let him find his way and he will thrive. And your baby will know he/she can count on both of you. You may do different things to comfort your baby and that’s okay. He doesn’t have to do it your way. We are all learning how to be parents for our babies and that’s okay. My daughter loves bed time Bible stories with me, but she will not let her dad do it. So on nights that it’s my husbands turn, he takes 15 minutes before bed for tickle parties and laughing together. It’s what he found works best for their relationship. If he asks for help, that’s different. You can give him advice or give him a break.

It will change eventually. My toddler (now 2.5yo) started letting my husband put him to sleep around 14-15 months. If I'm not working evening shift he will ask for me to tuck him still. My daughter though, she doesn't care lol she is just like put me in my crib I wanna sleep. She puts herself to sleep. She hates being rocked or held. She just wants her bottle and paci and she's out😂

My husband and I have alternated since the day we came home. I breastfed for 10 months but I pumped every other night so he could put the baby to bed. Baby is home with him for 3 days though so I knew he'd have to put him down when I went back to work.

Occasionally does happen a lot with my boyfriend. I say just let him keep trying and also sometimes when baby starts crying he will put music on the speakers and put him down that way with a slight bounce while walking around.
