We have been through this stage too, thankfully we are now out the other end. It really is a matter of perseverance as hard as it is. I know how upsetting this has been for my DH. I really like the bubbles idea that someone has mentioned and wish I had thought of that when We were going through it! What worked for us was when DH was able to he would take DD out on his own, whether it was for a walk or to the shops or to the park. Anything that gave him an opportunity to spend some time with her without the distraction of mummy around.
I am pleased to say that over the last couple of months we have no longer had this problem. DD gets very excited about DH getting home and having her play time with him. She constantly talks about DH throughout the day and asks to speak to him on the phone a number of times through the day.
There are still times that she prefers to have me, but that is because I am her primary carer, but she is now so close to her Daddy and I can tell how happy that makes my DH.
