I’ve been a dad for a week now. For the most part she’s an easy baby. I’m just struggling with a few things her mom is doing. 1st thing is she’s adamant about breastfeeding, which we do supplement with formula. But it seems to me that our daughter will be on the boob for 2 hours and still be hungry so it seems it’s mostly her sleeping or just suckling for comfort.

The 2nd issue in my mind is mom’s constant need to hold her. Today it seemed like she fussed just to be held. I suggested swaddling her but mom had to swoop in and pick her up.

I don’t want it to sound like I don’t show my daughter attention but today she had all her needs met just didn’t want to be put down. She struggles to sleep at night as it is and I’m worried this is gonna make everything harder.

Am I overthinking it? I’m just worried our daughter is building habit for being constantly held.
