Hates His Dad??

i think a four month old is probably not harboring any grudges. BUT four months old is so young to do shared custody. i wouldn't be surprised if it was just that he misses his mama. he may even equate his dad with you being gone and just being held by him stresses him out. you're in a tough situation, but it sounds like you haven't got much of a choice. as long as dad is good to him you're going to have to tough it out. hang in there. the more time braxton spends with his dad, the easier it will get for everyone.

I personally don't think a four month old baby is going to remember what happened when he was seven weeks old. I think it's more that he is used to being with you and when he is with his dad, he's not as comfortable since he's not around him so much. He's going to act differently at his dad's house because it's a different environment. If you get along great now, are you tense when you drop him off or when his dad picks him up? I would think if you're getting along, you'd be at ease and the baby would pick up on that. I wouldn't worry too much about the previous fighting. As he gets older, if the pattern continues, it will be something that he will get used to, so try not to do that in front of him if you guys get into an argument/disagreement about something. But, basically, I think your son is fine and just might be going through a little clingy stage at most.

I don't think he's holding a grudge, and I don't think he remembers the fighting - I think he probably doesn't remember his father at all. He is just this strange guy who takes him away from mama. My son didn't want to be held by his daddy around 5-6 months, and his daddy lives with us and is very devoted. Babies this young are attached to the primary caregiver - mommy. But he'll grow into loving his father as he gets older.

I think every child goes through a clingy thing with their mom or someone else around alot my daughter did it with my mother in law she wanted nothing to do with anyone else. You will notice kids go through funny little stages it will pass!

No he doesnt know, my husband has been home with me every day all day since the day my baby was born 6 months ago and it wasnt till 2 weeks ago that he is ok with my husband actually can hang out with him without me having to be in the room...i think its because your baby is sooo attached to you he doesnt want anyobody but you
