A phase...??? 4 mth old screaming for mummy ALL the time!
Evening ladies,
DD has always been the most contented baby ever. Never cries or fusses except for when she's hungry or overtired and generally always happy and smiling (when those pesky teeth aren't causing her problems). OH is home a lot due to the way his shifts work so she's always been happy being looked after by either one of us and has never been bothered about me not being there.
Until the last week or so......
She now won't settle AT ALL for OH and definitely won't be put down for a nap or to bed by him. I don't really mind as obviously babies need their mummies and 99 times out a 100 I don't want to go anywhere or do anything without her anyway but am getting really worried that this isn't a phase and I will always be the only one who can settle her. Has anyone else had a LO who went through a phase like this at about 4 months? (she's 17 weeks tomorrow)
please say yes....!

We're in the midst of it at the moment. LO was 17 weeks this weekend and for the last week and a half has been a bit of a minx when she's usually so good. She's started throwing a right wobbly when OH tries to give bottle - he tried for 45 mins the other day, gave her to me and she took it straight away?!
When I went out on Fri for dinner with the girls, got back and he said she'd been an absolute nightmare wouldn't stop screaming - I walked into see her and said hello and she smiled...OH was so hurt I think.
My mum keeps saying LO is becoming a mummy's girl, and I really don't want that to be the case, I want her to be happy with everyone - like she has been up till now.
I'm also hoping this is just a phase...
Sorry no advice, but you're not alone!
