hmm.. i didn't read that as him holding the baby before mum. Just that he wants to be the first to see & hold the baby out of everyone else, which again, I think is fair enough.
But he could still have first cuddles even if there is a support person.. it's only right that the daddy is next in line after mummy!
ETA: Thought I'd just add.. is it possible he really does want 'his moment' with his wife & baby? If so, tell him it's important that he learn how to support you and how to be involved properly. Men don't like to feel useless, but does he actually know what you need? Perhaps put the time in and explain to him what you will be needing, and ask if he's prepared to step up and be there properly this time. If it is just that he's clueless, it wouldn't be a nice feeling to be pushed aside and 'replaced' and not have a chance to try again iykwim. Of course I don't know you guys personally, just thought I'd suggest it that he might need more instructions. My DH isn't very intuitive, but follows instructions well LOL.
