Husband gives up when baby cries

So little baby is having a lot more false starts and is a bit more difficult to put down at night. Four month sleep regression is starting, I’m assuming. I’m trying to figure out what I can adjust in her schedule or literally anything to make it easier but as we all know babies sometimes don’t work that way. My husband has been taking care of getting the baby down at night so that I can get at least a few hours of sleep before she starts waking throughout the night - she’s up at least twice. But now that it’s more difficult he gives up and says I have to do it or we let her cry it out which is unacceptable to me. I feel like he only agreed to doing bedtime when it was easy and I feel so betrayed that he won’t do the difficult parts too. I’ve been getting her down for reluctant naps all day and the one time I get a break…. I think he owes me a huge apology but he’s weirdly stubborn about this - and he literally was never like that before having this baby. I don’t know what to do.

Hello I’m sorry you are going through this. Sometimes when we as people get placed in unfamiliar territory it makes us act different so maybe that’s why he might not want to do it because he doesn’t know what to do. Maybe doing the routine together to show him how to do it will make him more confident on doing the routine again. Us as mothers go through it but dads also go through it as well. We are all human and leaning on each other helps😊 Also I’ve seen this cream on IG that has magnesium maybe that can help?
