    Yeah, it can be hard. DD2 very rarely lets anyone hold her. If she does then I have to be there. It will take time and patience (like most things with kids). As she gets a little older she will hopefully get more confident with others. It is hard though ITMT. I hope that something works for you soon.

    whilst I was bathing her he said, "are you going to wean her off the boob anytime soon otherwise how am I ever going to bond with her.
    If he was bathing her instead of you there would be some bonding going on

    If he wants to feed her have you expressed and let him try to do it in a bottle. He can still bond with her and she is still getting the booby milk Have him have a bath or shower with her and play with the toys. Even if she screams at the start she will get used to it. She is at an age though when they do seem to want their mums. But I would include DH in more things so that she gets used to him being there with her. Good luck
