my son is almost 1 yo, and a healthy and happy baby, but lately it seems that if it wasnt for my boobs, he wouldnt even acknowledge my existence. Daddy is his favorite person in the whole world and i am only good for eating and for when daddy is not there.
when daddy is home he follows him around and starts crying if daddy goes to the bathroom and closes the door or something like that. the other night baby started crying and i picked him up to carry him around and rock him back to sleep and he was pushing me away with his arms and his legs and kept wailing until daddy got him, then he calmed down in a flash.
im happy they have a deep bond and everything but i was hoping for a more balanced attitude from my son towards us...
we both work so, baby sees about equal amount of both of us, he is breastfed (and pumped-milk-fed :-)))), we co sleep with him, my husband takes baths with him and i put him down for the night... other than that its mostly 50/50 as far as taking care of him is concerned.
i ve been telling myself its a phase, but this has been going on for like a month. he used to *like* someone more for like a couple of days, a week at most, never this long.
i dont quite know how to handle it if it keeps on going like this. i want some baby love too!!

mama
I thought it was way too young to start this but it does appear to be that she just wants her Daddy. She'll fuss & cry and push against me and when Daddy takes her, she's all smiles...Not all the time but too much for my liking 
Hope it evens out soon!
It's so nice that she's happy to be with him and it gives me a little break. "Sorry honey, she only wants you right now. I'll be back in a couple of hours!"
