What does the little girl usually do with Daddy? Is it a case of "here's Daddy - that means Mummy has left me!" or does Daddy do more with the baby?

What DH and I did was DH loved wearing DS, so as the sling generally smelt of me and DS was happy. We didn't do much more as DH is not a good Daddy to babies if we're honest. I wasn't allowed for a night out without taking DS with me at 5 months old! And he did come with me and smiled and cooed when he should have been sleeping in his car seat!

Can BOTH parents do bedtime for a bit, then Mummy do some nights and Daddy others, alternate it - but have the other parent back off slowly. Might take a couple of weeks: one week both involved, one week one doing it the other watching, then just Daddy then just Mummy etc?

Comfort/favourite toys work wonders too!
