I have just started a Bookkeeping course. The only problem is that whenever i go out, my 13week old daughter cries all the time for her dad. She cries if i am not in the room with her? What do i do?

I agree with the first poster...leave something with dad that smells like you. And let dad do more things when you are both with her. Try bed time together, then let him do it alone and see what she does. She's just very used to you, and if you are breast feeding the attachment is there even more. Dad needs to find his own bonding with her but may need a little help. Good luck!

she is behaving like a normal 13 week old baby who has bonded with her mum.
gradually get your husband to do more of the feeding/changing and cuddling. I suggest he also takes lessons in staying calm as babies pick up on uncertainty and agitation and if he is nervous about being left with her she will pick up on that and react to it by being nervous and agitated herself. Is this a full time course or just an evening one? If an evening one could you not settle her your self before you go out?
If full time - well I know its an oldfashioned viewpoint ; could you not leave it for a year?

Try making sure he spends time with his daughter, while you're around. He could bath her, for example, put her to bed with a story (yes, I know she's young but you're never to young to build a routine!) and if yo pop in and out all the time, she'll get used to being with her father, rather than just being "left" with him.

you just have to keep going and coming back sounds like she is suffering from separation anxiety she will get over it. Doesn't matter if you leave her straight away or wait with her for an hour she will still do the same when you leave until she learns that you will always come back

Let your husband get involved in helping you with her at night let him do it while your there. and have him spend more time with her. she will be okay. she will get use of the idea that you are not going to be around all the time and her daddy will be there for her when you are not. good luck. its normal.

If she cries for her dad, then give her her dad. Also, try to make sense next time.

let him have more nights with her. Even if you are there, let him do bath and bed. Babies do go through really clingy phases, but they do generally get over it.
