Gonna need a hand with this one · 3:33am Mar 22nd, 2016
Something m' wife said really left me worried. She said our daughter hasn't bonded with her, that she's a familiar face to our daughter and nothing more.
I don't know what to say or do about that. I'll grant our little girl seems to like her daddy more than anybody else, but not at all? M' wife knows best how to play with her, gets her to laugh and giggle the most, and she's shown more patience than me in many, many cases of handling our daughter when she's fussy...but not bonded at all, at our daughter's end? She said it's what signals she's gotten from her and not postpartum depression. She points to that our daughter has slept on her chest only once or twice, and I can usually get her to do that with me when I'm home taking care of her. I don't know what to do.
This happens quite often mate. I assume your daughter is still a baby so that would leave me to believe that she has gotten so use to seeing her mother that when she sees you, she gets excited. There is probably nothing wrong with either your wife, or your child.
I also assume your a working father?
3819975 Yeah, she's six months old. I can see all that, except the bit about m' daughter not sleeping on m' wife's chest, but will do so with mine.
Working...yeah. Need new work, too...but that's whole other story.
3820058 Some children don't sleep on the chests of their parents. Yours could be in the between and only likes to sleep on one chest.
It could be that your child likes your chest more. Tell me, is your child breast fed?

M' wife pumps; our daughter had something not a bit wrong with her palette and couldn't get a good latch.
3820404 Breast feeding is always a good rout to go down.
Another thing it could be is that your daughter wants to show she loves you when you get home from work and decides sleeping on your chest is a good idea to do so. I really cant tell you why she doesn't sleep on your wife's chest.
