Anyone else?
My son is 4 weeks old and I’ve noticed my husband is having a hard time bonding/tending to him. When we first came home he was doing great with helping out and such. Then my son got colic and is very fussy unless he is asleep. Now I have to ask my husband to hold him for a second and he will go half the day without messing with our son at all. It’s been very hard on me with no sleep. I haven’t got more than 4 hours of sleep a day since we’ve been home. My husband will try to care for our son so I can take a nap but I hear the baby screaming and my husband can’t seem to calm him down. I know he gets stressed out when he doesn’t know what to do and then the baby senses that he is stressed and frustrated so it makes it 10x worse. I’m just hoping this passes soon. We’ve been together for 6 years, married for 2 and this is the first time I’ve felt a strain in our relationship. Has anyone else went through a rough patch like this and then their partner pulled it together and became more involved? Please no negative comments. he is a great husband and my best friend, it just something we are going through with the change I guess.
