Is this the proverbial "rod"?

I don't think I could ever do controlled crying. We've tried wrapping a few times, but she just struggles against it, she's much happier having her arms out. We tried wrapping just her feet but again, she struggles.

I probably should have elaborated in regards to DH a bit more - but lack of brain today. Up until just recently, I'd say as little as a week ago, DD had no problems being comforted by DH. There's even been quite a few nights where he has taken over and I've gone to bed - he'll just bring her in for a feed and that's it. In fact that's him she's smiling at in my sig pic. It's just something that's happened this week that, for some reason, she won't tolerate anyone but me. I'm just hoping it's not due to a build up of having only me during the week days.

All of this holding / only me business seems to have come on gradually. The first two weeks she happily went to DH or I and I hardly held her - ie we'd cuddle, she'd fall asleep and I'd put her down until she woke. The only times she stayed asleep on me was because I wanted her there, I didn't want to put her down. Now though, it's not my say... I'm just worried it's my fault.

krysalyss, thankyou for your reply, and the link. I'm a huge "cuddles and kisses" person - not sure what you call that exactly, and am much more comfortable and sure about picking Savannah up and comforting her if she's upset than leaving her. I have no idea if it's connected or not, but my mum was never a big person for hugs and affection, and I had huge problems growing up and into my early adulthood. Not sure if it's linked, but I know that I love affection and craved it when I was growing up (and didn't get it), so am showering it on Savannah. Course, I've got no idea if SHE wants as many kisses as I give her, but I want them and her head just smells so damn divine!
