<![CDATA[New Daddy BLUES !! HELP NEEDED !!:pray:]]>Hi to all


I joined this forum a few weeks after my daughter was born ! I joined only because of my daughter.

My 1st and only daughter was born on 1.1 2010 so now its more than 18 months old. I am having new daddy blues now !! Guess its kinda of late BLUES since she already been in my life for 18 months but now I am really FEELING VERY helpless and SAD !!

Basically 2 major issues is really bothering me.

1) Her relationship and bonding with me

2) Her inability to walk and talk until now.

When my girl was first born, she had jaundice. I was the one who visited her every day and also feed her when she was in the hospital as her mum was still recovering after giving birth.

I took 3 weeks off for her birth so I bath, feed and put her to sleep almost every day. I was up at night to attend to her too since I did not have to work during the 3 weeks and also to let my wife rest.

However because of raising a child together for the 1st time in such close proximity, me and my wife got into lots of argument over many "baby issues" and after 3 weeks I had to get back to work so I finally decided to "let go".

My wife is a stay at home mum so sooner or later I would have to let her decide on most things since I wont be home anyway.

So after 3 weeks I am back to work and from then on my wife feed, bath and put her to sleep every day. On weekends at times I do play and bath her. Of course I also change the diapers and feed her milk once a while.

So things goes smoothly in a sense. She grew up, learn how to crawl and smile at me and I was enjoying fatherhood !!

Things started to change this 2 months, she is now becoming very sticky to my wife. When she used to smile at me when I am home after a hard days work, now she have no response at all. When I want to carry her during weekends, she usually resist. So my wife suggested I spend more time with her.

So following her advice every day upon coming home after work, before I bath or have my dinner or do anything else, I would bring her for a walk downstairs, usually about 30 minutes. During this time she spend with me, she was quite happy.

Then recent days she started resisting going down TOO. Most days my wife have to bring her to the lift and I would take over. She would sometimes even cry until we reach the 1st floor. If her mum is around, she would refuse to respond to me at all.

I also tried reading her story book every night but very often she snatch the book for herself to play with it after a few pages and I could not read it anymore. Either that or she would crawl away. Reading to her becomes such a challenge every night before bed I am thinking of giving up totally.

Weekends I often bring her to the playground without her mum. Again she was very happy to play at the playground but again not much respond to me personally when we walk there or when we are going back.

This is getting so discouraging !! I wander if ever things will get any better. I also worry now about discipline her if the needs arise as she already do not "like" me. If I do one day have to punish her, I don’t know what kind of respond I would get.

Now my wife is the only one who beat her once in a while.

Some of my friends suggest I take care of her daily needs more so weekends I do bath her and try to put her to sleep. With some difficulty, bathing is still possible for now but its impossible to put her to sleep as she would cry until my wife comes.

As it is I work 5 days work only and yet finds it a challenge to spend quality time with her and even as I sacrifice personal time to be with her on the weekends, it seems not much help.

Last weekend I brought her swimming without her mum. Its was her 2nd time. 1st time was with her mum. I managed to get her out of the house and travel with her to the swimming pool. Once we are in the pool, she keeps crying and after I brought her up, pacify her, she refuse to go in again. I gave up after a few tries, change her and then went to meet up with my wife for dinner.

My wife keep saying things will get better but I cannot help but wonder. For various reasons, this would probably be my only child and I was hoping to be a dad with a good relationship with my child.

Has any daddy or mummy ever goes through this? Anyone got any suggestions for me ? How to bond with your daughter if you have to work even longer hours than me.

The 2nd issue I have did some research on the internet and also consult some doctors. Most people tell me not to worry as she probably a bit slower than other child but still quite normal.

She now walks only when we hold her hand and after a distance, she would refuse to walk and only want us to carry her.

She could now make some noises but still cannot say a single word.

Any suggestion on the 2nd issue most welcome too.

Thank you to all for reading such a long story.

Desperate 1st time daddy !!

EASON MAGPIES:
Thanks buds for the recommendation. I did some research but it seems the Bridge learning centre is to inaccessible by public transport for us.


To all parents out there...

Hi I know private speech Therapists are expensive, can anybody tell me what are their rates and any recommendations to a good therapist?
I know of a child who needs speech help who also went to Learning Vision at Sunshine Place, CCK. Am not sure how specialized they are, but there was a decent quantum of improvement.

I used to stay in Choa Chu Kang, bro and there is this early intervention centre
located at Choa Chu Kang Sports Complex. DD1 was with the Tumble Tots ctr
along that stretch when it was run by the previous owner. Tumble Tots is under
a new management now. I read somewhere you are residing in the west, so not
sure if this ctr might be nearer to you depending on which part of the west you
are actually in. You can read about them here. Very established ctr and was also
featured a couple of times in our local newspapers.
> http://www.bridgelearning.com.sg/

Tumble Tots; together with the excellent management team and teachers then
helped my extremely introvert child become and all rounder. :love: My daughter
developed good balance and definitely built up her confidence thru all the assisted
gym activities and in turn boosted her self-esteem a lot! They also used Letterland
Phonics which i fell in love with as it was soo interesting learning with the delightful
songs... props that the team made by hand!... the extensive learning materials... &
the wonderful characters the children associated with the sounds of the alphabets.
Mandarin lessons were also incorporated into their programme. The teaching staff
were gems. Patient and nurturing.. too bad the same peeps are no longer there now.

As for brushing... i already started with my #3 DS using the starter gum-brush since
he was abt 7mths. 😉 I bought it from Mothercare. Kiddy Palace has it too. The
brand is called, Tommy Tippee Toothbrush Trainer set.
> http://www.littlewhiz.com/pd_tommee_tippee_trainer.cfm

I carry my DS on one side and we both face the mirror to brush together before zzzzz.
He finds it amusing and later on a routine habit. 😄 You can try that out. 😉

Talk to you soon.. he just woke up from his nap. :love:

It was dark but I think I even saw a smile. It is really quite a satisfying experience. Seems my DD is even harder to woo than her mum. Ha


Heyya there EASON MAGPIES, i'm a silent follower of your journey in fatherhood with your only daughter and at times i find myself choking in sheer pride as i follow your triumphs and at times i too am sad inside reading your anguish and worry over bonding issues... the mommy thingies and all... :hugs: You are an exemplary daddy and definitely one who loves unconditionally. I too agree with MadScientist with regards to enjoying the baby (steps) mini successes which will give you more fuel to charge on to the bigger challenges ahead. Your daughter is extremely fortunate to have you as her father and your wifey is fortunate to have a very involved husband and father. :love:
EASON MAGPIES:
Now I am worrying about another matter - her speech delayed !!
Feel free to PM me should you require any assistance with regards to the above. I will be happy to help you out. I may have some relevant experiences though not that vast a vessel, but should be enough to walk you thru some doubts you may have. Just had to drop you this note to tell you that you are not alone should you need anything that i can assist within my means.

You take care now and keep your love alive for your family.

All my love..

Best Regards,
buds... 😉


Thank you so much buds. Its a even more trying time now as we have so much appointments line up to bring her too after our visit to KK. Fatherhood is harder than I thought it would be.

By the way, now my biggest headache is choosing an EIPIC center for her. Perhaps you could help me with that if you have some experience. Thank you so much. I have posted another thread to ask about EIPIC center to see if anyone DD or DS attended before.

MadScientist:
EASON MAGPIES:

I read to her while she is having her supper milk then before her milk runs out I stop and off the light.

I just realized after re-reading...

You might want to retune that when teeth are out properly, before it becomes a habit...
Tooth milk stains or decay may set in... When she's old enough, you can do the honors of talking to her while brushing her teeth. It's a good bonding time... And very settling too for the kids if done well.

Cheers!

Thanks for the tip. I am a little worried about that too. She is ofcourse too young to brush her own teeth now. Whenever her mum tries to wash for her, she resist and cry until her mum gave up too.

I was wondering when as in how old to start her on brushing teeth. I realized dental hygiene is really important especially since dental care is so expensive in Singapore.

Glad to report things have improved a little bit bit since I last post. She now allows me to put on to sleep the last 3 nights. I read to her while she is having her supper milk then before her milk runs out I stop and off the light.

Usually if she falls asleep right away after she finished her milk then not a problem but if she still awakes she will then get up and crawl out to find her mum but last 3 nights she didn’t and just look at me with her big eyes. It was dark but I think I even saw a smile.

RRMummy:
Hi Eason M,


It is heart-warming to know a father who wants to bond so much.

I agree totally in spending quality time with your little one and what Chenoceau said also applied to both my gals..

But just a little something off my head...in your eagerness to bond, maybe you should not pull her away from Mummy to spend quality time together. I'm just wondering if it will kinda backfire if you push too hard coz she will feel that once you come home you will try to tear her away from mummy dearest.

I would suggest instead to do fun and silly things together just the 3 of you. Sing and dance together. Make Sunday your family outing day either to fly kites, go to playgrounds, etc etc. Let her see that she does not have to choose mummy instead of daddy.

When the gals were your DD's age and younger, my DH will swing them like an aeroplane or throw them around and tickle them silly when he gets home.. they gradually grew to realize that mummy had no such strenght to play like that.. so DH became THE one they looked for when they wanted to play. As for me, I still remain to be the one they will definitely prefer for bedtime. :love:

It will take time, she may ignore you for awhile when mama's around but hang in there. It is said by many that little girls will always grow to be closer to their daddies. :roll:
I guess my eagerness to bond is partly because of 2 reasons. Firstly I was not closed to my dad at all only my mum. Secondly we have already decided she will be our only child.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did think of that too. She may think of me as the bad guy who tear her away from her mummy.

We do have weekend outing. Usually I will bring her out to spend some time together. My DW will then come later and 3 of us would go dinner together.

The thing is she is ok to be with me and laugh and plays with me when we are alone but once her mummy appears, she will quickly drop me and run away. Same thing happens also when we are in the room.

But I guess it really does take effort and time.

EASON MAGPIES:
I do wonder about the bad effects too but these days I guess humans as a whole rely too much on gadgets. I myself are on the net every day before I sleep.


More importantly we have peace when we show her you tube. My wife use it so she can sit still and she finds it easier to feed her.

We use it again so me and my wife can have peaceful dinner together.

However we also bring her for walk and be around nature every day so hope we can balance it out.
If everyone is at peace with the gadgets, then I guess that is fine. I brought this up as I hear caregivers finding it difficult to limit box time as the child grows and they felt vexed yet can't do much.

Nothing is wrong with spending time infront of the box, it's the intention. Make it a daily routine, you may risk addiction. Make it a hush-hush
helpline, the child is not given the opportunities to learn about self, others and surrounding.

Just my thought. Pardon for digressing from your thread.

Just to share my view on AV materials. Just my personal opinion.

I often hear people say that their (grand)kids watch tv everyday. If they were to disallow them to watch, there’ll be a period of unhappiness for all. And the caregivers will usually end off with "sigh… they are used to watching tv already."

Watching tv program is not exactly a habit, I feel. It’s just that the kids had been conditioned to "learn from the box". With the colorful, ever-changing visual stimulation and beautiful music / voice, PLUS the figure of security (beloved whoever) by their side lovingly / quietly (instead of nagging), the BOX is associated to "feel good".

And if they were to repeat what they watched, the adults will go "WOO… AAHH… my baby is so clever!!" with their smiles from ear-to-ear. And as they grow, they’ll continue to do so. Why not, since it’s gonna make the caregivers happy.

But alas, as they grow, expectations are different.

So seriously, we can’t blame the kids for getting glued to the box (note that I am referring the box to both tv & computer). They were conditioned since young. And because time is spent in front of the box, they had lesser time to create play for themselves. In the long run, they lose the ability to play by themselves and had to rely on gadgets.

In short, AV materials are useful but I’d advice parents to use them randomly and not as a daily routine. Just my personal opinion.

EASON MAGPIES:


Thanks for sharing. Guess you are almost in the same shoe as me since your son is about my daughter age. My parents commented maybe at this period son would want the daddy more.

I dont know if sex makes a difference.

I wanted to make the habit of bring her for a walk everyday I come home so I try my best not to leave work too late and also not go out for dinner and evening activities with friends. I thought by doing so will then make it a habit and she will wait eagerly everyday for daddy to bring her down but it did not turn out that way.

One reason could be my dad brings her for walk every morning as we lived very near my parents.

I just pray things get better ~~

I am not too sure sex makes any difference at such a tender age though i have heard girls tend to get closer to daddy and boys to mommy. Opposites attract maybe? 😂

You're doing a lot to try to foster a close bonding with your girl but as in anything else dun try too hard, take things naturally and understand all these issues are just a passing phase. I am pretty sure your girl will understand how dear her daddy is to her as she grows. For my case i am just very happy to know that my boy is happy and healthy. 🙂

Oh yes here are some links from youtube i promise to share, you can show them to your girl daily to encourage her to learn new words and to sing along. You can echo the songs together with her as you get familiar with it, do it with actions and she will mimic what you are doing before you know it. 🙂

Yes now I am also learning to take it easy.

Thanks for the videos especially the 1st one.

I do let my daughter watch youtube everyday too. Some of the videos are the same as those on your list. She loved it and would really sit still and watch.

I shall share my links too as some are different from yours. My daughter loves the flashcard videos too.

That gives me an idea. Perhaps I should start a thread and we can all share our youtube videos...:-)

About the gender attractions...

Mine are all ok with me. Guess I am very strict, and I play very fun too! 😉
