Just this week, my 17-month-old son is FREAKING out whenever my husband picks him up or tries to play with him. He screams bloody murder and cries real tears and runs to me asking to be picked up. Sometimes he will calm down and allow his dad to play with him, feed him, bathe him, etc., but it takes a LOT of mind games. Tonight he was Mr. Hyde all evening no matter what his dad did...it was so sad. I know they go through these phases and my husband is a pediatrician so I know he logically knows that too, but it's still pretty heartbreaking for him. My husband works crazy hours so he's not around nearly as much as I am but he is usually the one who gives LO his bath and bedtime routine.
Anyone else's LO go through such a strong Daddy aversion? How long did it last? ?? I do think he is teething with molars so maybe he just doesn't feel very good and wants his mama only?
