My baby won’t look at me


As soon as my husband enters the room, she lights up, looks at him and kicks her legs in excitement. If I have been away and return I am lucky to get a half-smile.When I hold her or am near her she refuses to look at me. If I put my face near hers and try to initiate eye contact she turns her head away 100% of the time. But if my husband walks in the room she will look at him happily and then maybe glance over at me. I can comfort her much more quickly than he can if she is crying but she doesn’t want to interact with me in any positive ways.I’ve been at home with her while he works. She is 8 months old now. He sometimes spends time with her in the evenings but it’s usually just half an hour to an hour each day. She used to want to interact with me more sometimes but at that time he didn’t spend any time with her at all. Now that he does sometimes, she ignores me and only wants to interact with him.What am I doing wrong? Please help me to understand why my baby couldn’t care less that I exist. I am so hurt and don’t know what to do to fix this and make her want to interact. Am I just the worst parent and she can’t stand me? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/35ovFkJ
