Toddler rejecting daddy

by biscuitbrown » Tue Sep 24, 2013 3:53 pm

I recently had baby no.2 & my two year old toddler was fantastic in the first weeks, and dealt with a lot of disruption admirably.

Now things have settled down though she has started to demand "mummy do it" every time daddy tries to do anything for her. He isn't allowed to put her to bed, give her a bath, get her dressed, feed her etc etc. I understand that this is probably her way of claiming me back after the arrival of the baby, but her daddy dotes on her, and frankly it means I have to do absolutely everything, even though he is actually a very willing & helpful father. I think it is quite upsetting for him too as he's always been very involved in her care.

If we try to push the issue major tantrums ensue... Any advice from those who have had the same issue?
