About 18mth-2yrs they really identify with (and consciously choosing) the same gender/ role parent so I would say it is a stage that will pass as with all things.

my son is obsessed with only me at the moment, to the point where he wont even let my DF make him a sippy cup! it has to be me all the time! he also runs and jumps on my lap the minute DF gets home from work and won't go near him! just a few months ago it was the other way around! toddlers are just plain strange! hang in there! I remember learning at uni something about the toddler subconsciously in competition with the opposite sex parent for attention from the same sex, so in your case your DD is trying to win your attention over your husband. Hope you get some sleep tonight!

We used to have that problem too. It helped for us to explain to DS that if he woke overnight Daddy would be coming to help him. If he needed someone then he could call Daddy. It then wasn't such a big shock that it wasn't me and he could expect that it would be Daddy.
