They think it was because their Doctor was male and she had a really hard time getting her shots :( If you were even in a 3-4 ft radius she would start whimper/crying </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-11-week-old-ds-criesscreams-when-he-sees-dh#post-1283636 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 10:13:25 +0000 Anagram 1283636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had several friends who had this problem with their LO if they were with the baby all day/did the majority of the night wakeups because the husband worked a lot.</p> <p>I've never had this problem with our 5 month old, and I don't know if it's just her temperment and we got lucky or if it's because from the beginning, my husband has has her almost 90% of the time he is at home. Like, the second he comes home from work, he has LO until she goes to bed. On weekends, he takes care of LO 90% of the time while I clean, cook, grocery shop, whatever.</p> <p>I would assumed it's a phase and just encourage your husband to take your LO more often, even if your son isn't used to him at first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-11-week-old-ds-criesscreams-when-he-sees-dh#post-1283619 Mon, 16 Dec 2013 10:09:58 +0000 TJBee 1283619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Title pretty much says it all. It started about a week ago. Before that, my DS loved being held, cuddles and played with by DH. Then, like magic, he flipped a switch and started crying whenever DH picked him up. This quickly progressed to DS crying/screaming even at the site of DH. Sometimes all DH has to do is walk into the same room and DS will start whimpering which will turn into a full-on cry.</p> <p>DH makes a lot of effort to try to play, soothe and bond with DS, even when he's crying, but it always gets to a point where DH doesn't want to put DS in any more distress and will give him back to me to soothe him.</p> <p>What can I do? It's heartbreaking to see DH trying to make such an effort to bond and DS having none of it... </p>
