Baby hates husband?!

Is that a thing? My daughter (1 month) will not get comfortable with my husband, he tries so hard but it’s like she’s clearly not comfortable when he holds her. I dont know if it’s because I’m “soft”, boobs and my squishy mom belly, and he’s skinny af. Or if she’s just a mammas girl, or what. But its making life hard.

I’m struggling with postpartum depression and also really missing alone time with my toddler. So I wish my baby would let my husband help for even an hour.

Has anyone dealt with this? I’m sure it’s just a phase but i dont know what to do. My husband gets upset/his feelings hurt feeling like he’s failing and she doesn’t like being around him.

Even if he’s feeding her, she just wiggles the whole time. If I get her almost to sleep and pass her off, she wakes up screaming, he can sit in the exact same position I do and hold her identical to how I do, she just cries and cries.

I’d like to eat a meal without her in my lap, or take a long shower, or go get my nails done, or play outside with my toddler, or use the bathroom without her crying from the other room.

I know I should be grateful to have my baby here and be glad she loves me.. but I’m honestly so tired so please don’t come at me about it 😩
