The father can "bond" during daytime care, but you cannot both be primary caregivers. There is one and the infant needs to feel secure and not wrenched away midweek each week.

Talk to a developmental ped.

You are not being dev. appropriate.


A baby that young needs to be with the mother especially if still nursing.


Not sure at all. Nursing is an excuse to keep fathers away. Mom can pump or baby can have formula. Both parents need to bond. You absolutely can have two primary caregivers. What do you think happens in a two parent home? So, one parent should go away so only one parent can bond? That is absurd. If bonding is an issue child should not have multiple caregivers with day care and only parents should rotate and care for the child.


Did you even read the whole thread?

An update on my end....we ended up reconciling and are now living together.


Congratulations, OP! That's probably the easiest resolution to the custody arrangement question. Hopefully this relationship continues to work well for both of you in the years to come.
