"How do you address Daddy jealousy over Baby's need for Mommy? Daddy loves everything about breastfeeding, but feels like it drives a wedge between Baby and Daddy. Mommy is trying to help Daddy realize Baby needs and loves Daddy very much. Daddy is very active in Baby's life and helps a lot around the house. Mommy works outside of the home, and tends to monopolize Baby when home. Baby is 18-months-old, is still breastfeeding and co-sleeping with Mommy & Daddy. Baby and Mommy aren't ready to completely wean from breastfeeding, and Baby sleeps much better in bed with Mommy and Daddy than in crib. In fact, Baby wakes up when Mommy gets out of bed and cries till Mommy gets back (part of Daddy jealousy.)�

When a new baby comes into the house, most Dads quickly learn that baby will now get 99% of mom�s energy and attention. Of course, this needs to be a temporary situation, otherwise, all couples would have only ONE child! While it is important meet a baby�s needs, he is getting old enough to start learning alternatives to mommy. Mommy should stop monopolizing baby so much when she is home, let dad have some of the cuddling time. Soon (if not already) mom and dad will need to get more alone time together, even if it is just a quick dinner out every few weeks � you really need to start getting romance back into the marriage.
