hello mummy, my 2nd used to reject his dad when he was arnd 10months old. I wasnt able to do much but just give it time for him to get comfortable with his dad. my baby is bf so he's very attached to me, but now he's 2yo, he likes his dad and plays with him. sometimes he would pick his dad over me even though I'm stil bf-ing him. :) no worries mummy, just cherish your moments with your baby :) I know it's hard but they grow up so fast you'll never notice that they're not babies anymore. 😢 (my 1st used to be mama's boy but now we bicker more than we hug and it's sad)
