When Baby Only Wants YOU to Put them Down

Does your little one have a STRONG parental preference at bedtime? Good news— it’s totally normal. Bad news? It tends to get worse over time, leaving you trapped at home and never to enjoy a girl’s night out again without worrying horribly about your little darlings.

And yes, it’s beautiful bonding time with them that is very precious. But, let’s be real, for us busy-body, super social moms, it can feel like quite the burden at times. Here are some helpful tips for letting someone else put baby down:

BONDING TIME

❤️Have your partner do exclusive 1:1 bonding time with baby for at least 10 mins a day.

LET OTHERS BE A PART OF BEDTIME

❤️Have partner be a part of bedtime wind down routine with you first. Then have them lead it and you return only when baby is upset.

UP THE ANTE

❤️ Up the ante with other parent and baby- so maybe add an extra fun step to bedtime routine that’s just with Dad. Or do an extra book or song to help with alternating until babes adjusts to it.
