What about cuddling her together? Eg lie on the bed with her in the middle so you are there but she is also getting contact with daddy. Skin on skin time with daddy?

Mine used to be like this... I secretly liked it though! Now it's the other way round... Only hubby can settle him at night, and he's the only one hell cuddle too!

We did bath time with DH as in both in big bath together. Jacob loved being in the bath with DH, but wasn't impressed being out of the bath with him.

I then started leaving them alone for short periods of time so I would pop to the shops, pop to my mams for a cuppa etc. He now happily plays with DH.

My LO was like this, but with MY Dad. My Dad would hold him and it would be seconds before LO cried. Dad thought he didnt like him so passed him back saying "I'll like him when hes older" lol which I thought was a shame as I wanted baby to like him! He likes him now though if that is any help! Dad just played games and being silly with him like me and my mum do and he is happy to go to my Dad now and is actualyl more of a man's man! The little tinker

I was going to suggest the bath together idea too. Can you express a bottle of milk for you OH to feed? Maybe that would help

Someone told me some babies don't like glasses. Could you get OH to drape a worn jumper of yours round him and then try?
