(She's 12 months.) But oftentimes if we're both in the room, once she's calmed down she'll ready for daddy for a little snuggle before she resumes play time. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-gets-injured-which-parent-do-they-reach-for#post-2417891 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 22:23:02 +0000 MrsRcCar 2417891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always momma with both boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-gets-injured-which-parent-do-they-reach-for#post-2417881 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 22:14:50 +0000 sera_87 2417881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo1: all about his mama.<br /> Lo2: whom ever is closer.

Another time DH had him, he saw me and went for me, but then wanted to go back to DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-gets-injured-which-parent-do-they-reach-for#post-2417789 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 20:51:49 +0000 catgirl 2417789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: This.</p> <p>She fell down today and was completely fine but she wandered around crying, yelling Dada, and knocking on doors looking for DH. Every time I tried to hug her she pushed me away. But if DH is home, she will only come to me. Weird kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-gets-injured-which-parent-do-they-reach-for#post-2417784 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 20:47:50 +0000 Periwinkle 2417784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me. All the time. If I'm gone, he is completely content with my husband but it makes me sad that, if we're together, LO will reach/call for me. I think it's starting to change a bit now which makes me feel better for my husband. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-gets-injured-which-parent-do-they-reach-for#post-2417024 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 13:28:08 +0000 catomd00 2417024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always mommy.

It's usually just whoever is closest and willing to give her an ice pack haha. She wants an ice pack for every little thing. At night though, she calls for the last person that put her down to bed (90% DH), though she doesn't mind if I show up instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-gets-injured-which-parent-do-they-reach-for#post-2417009 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 13:19:18 +0000 Mamaof2 2417009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>me<br /> UNLESS DH isn't around then she wants him- go figure </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-gets-injured-which-parent-do-they-reach-for#post-2417006 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 13:16:55 +0000 clover 2417006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always mama, he doesn't even let DH comfort him until I can get to him (just sits there screaming). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-gets-injured-which-parent-do-they-reach-for#post-2416611 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 10:02:44 +0000 snowjewelz 2416611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me 100000%! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-gets-injured-which-parent-do-they-reach-for#post-2416586 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 09:57:01 +0000 yellowbird 2416586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mommy, always always.

A lot of times, she goes straight to grandma though, if my MIL is around. It's pretty rare she cries when she hurts herself though.

She often ultimately wants to go to Mommy though, and if she's crying out in her sleep it is "Mama"... which is pitiful :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-gets-injured-which-parent-do-they-reach-for#post-2416530 Mon, 11 Jan 2016 09:39:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 2416530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always mommy here too. </p> <p>@mediagirl: she also says "I want my mommy!!"

She also calls for me when something is hurting, even if I am holding her, "Mommyyyyy. Mommmmyyyy it huuuuurts". It's heartbreaking. </p> <p>Which parent does your child call for/need when they get hurt? </p>
