how to keep her happy?
"Linda" wrote in message
... I need ideas and suggestions for my poor DH. I work on Monday nights and leave DD (3 months) with DH for about 3 hours. Since you have fed her just before you leave, she can't be hungry (LOL). What is she like on other evenings? Is her routine the same or do you change everything on this one night? I'd make sure to start with that you feed her at the same time *every* night, and if possible not feed her again until those three hours are up, so that she is doing the same thing every night. I would also back up the bath time thing, it is a great time for daddies to interact alone with their children, and is something that either parent can do successfully. The times are flexible, but let's say you leave at 6pm... you feed her at around 5.30pm, then either leave (for work on Mondays) or back off (other nights) and let Daddy take over. A small play to allow time for her food to go down, then bath time, into jammies, a story time or song time together, maybe a short stroll around the park... and you are home or ready to step in by 9pm to feed and put her to bed together. I think routine is an important thing here, so that she is used to these three hours being Daddy time every day. Donna |
