For stay at home moms- how does your baby react to dad and others?

Question

So I'm going to be a stay at home mom. I'm curious if my baby will be bonded and attached to me. I know some babies even cry every time their mom leaves. So if my husband has her alone, will she cry since she's with me the majority of the day? Anyone have experience with this?

Answer

For my daughter I wanted her to be okay if I left her. So honestly If I know nothing is wrong with her and she's not hungry I let her cry if I needed to do something. She learned pretty quickly that she didn't need to be held by me 100% of the time but at the same time I'm there for her when she really does need it. We have a great bond. But she LOVES her daddy. My husband has also been very attentive towards her since she was born. She's also very social because I let everyone hold her. I just tried to make it so she knows I'm there when she needs me. But that she doesn't need to be with me allll the time if that makes sense.

Answer

I'm a stay at home mom and my husband works and both my kids are attached to me way more than they are attached to my husband. I think it does bother him and in all honesty it kinda bothers me too because he does feel left out at times. my husband was taking on two night shift nursing jobs which means 6 days a week, 12 hour shifts. We did not see him at all. He would come home at 7 am and go to sleep and we would do our own thing. By the time he wakes up, he has to go to work and we would be sleeping. So I think that played a big role.

Answer

I'm a stay at home mom and my daughter is seriously a daddy's girl. She have an incredible bond with my husband. I think that because she spends all day with me she misses him more. I'm sometimes jealous of that but I know she loves me too. We are just literally always together.

Answer

I think it's different for each child. I personally knew it was very important for my children to have some type of independence from me since we would be together all the time. Whether it was allowing them alone time in a separate room or finding drop off daycares for a few hours out the week. My daughters now 5 and 3 have never had a problem with other people or being attached to my hip! It was just something I didn't want to put myself, my child or other people through!

Answer

It's different for every baby. My firstborn is attached to my hip, and my husband was around about as much as I was since he worked nights. My new baby girl is equally attached to my husband and myself and he's at work 12 hours a day. My son couldn't stand being without me even though he's gotten better now that he's almost 2 and realizes daddy is really fun to play with. 
My 2 kids are night and day, it'll be interesting to see how they turn out.

Answer

I am a stay at home mom. My son is two now and cries every time I leave him with anyone. He is very attached to me and has always been. It wasn't as bad when he was a baby though. He was breastfed so I was and still is his comfort. I actually went out for a few hours today and after 2 hours he cried looking for me. I tried to go out a lot when he was younger so he was with different people but he is still super attached to me

Answer

Lol by 2pm I'm counting down till 5pm he gets so board of me towards the end and likes the new face
