I've read similar things, Ryn - that babies are biologically dependant on mummy, therefore, daddy isn't a survival need until solids, therefore probably won't get much attention or be as rewarding an interaction for daddy. It's just the way it is, so daddies shouldn't take it personally, but I guess sometimes they do. Daddies tend to prove the theory right, though, when they just up and leave to do their own thing, as if there is no child to consider...cos there effectively isn't, if they've left it all up to mummy to take care of! There are exceptions. I do know daddies who are hands on, in whatever capacity they can find for themselves, from day one. Pity DP isn't one of those exceptions!!
