God, my XP is the opposite. He pretty much ignored her until i broke up with him and then spent time with her in a possessive "She's MY baby!" kind of way, which was actually good because he got to know and love her much more then. Now he comes over and plays with her and baths her (she's great fun in the bath too) and generally does all the fun stuff and yells on me to clean up the food/poo/mess, feed her, change her nappies, take things she shouldn't have off her, tell her off when she's naughty, and generally do all the running about after her.

I'm not suggesting a break-up is the way to go MrsR! There were ALOT of other factors with us.

I think Ryn's suggestions are great - if you get him to do things as part of being a good PARTNER< he will fall more in love with DS as a by-product of that and pretty soon he'll want to do them. Even my DP (not DD's father) who has only been spending time with DD for the last 5 months is in love with her because i've asked him to read to her or sit with her in the bath while i'm doing the dishes or organising her pyjamas etc. Babies are hard NOT to love if you just spend a bit of time with them. Demand it for you and you will ALL benefit.
