Need advice concerning 6 1/2 week old son PLEASE!!!
I posted about this a week ago but it has gotten worse! DS does not seem to be happy with anyone but me. I will BF him and run out for 1 hour and he SCREAMS his head off and can not be soothed. As soon as I walk in and hold him, he stops and is content. It is happening all parts of the day when he is given to DH or a grandparent.
It got really bad the last few days 
My DH feels rejected & I feel like I can not do anything without him!
I am so scared when I return to work in September.
The only time he is okay is when DH wakes up to feed him during the night (I pump). He wakes up, takes the bottle & goes back to sleep.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Can your DH give another bottle outside of the one at night? It will get him use to another person feeding him. Also get DH to change his diaper, give baths, etc. The more contact he has with the baby the better.

what about if when your dh holds him, he holds him in one of your worn tshirts? I know it sounds ridiculous, but maybe your scent will calm him.

I was going to say this! It worked for us! I would give the shirt that I had worn that day and it kept her calm! good luck!

I know you are BF, but why not have your grandparents & DH feed him from the bottle throughout the day. He's still eating a lot, but if others feed him, I think it will help a lot.
