fiancé was up half the night with the baby, who was inconsolable for much of it. this morning i heard him thru earplugs and 2 closed doors and went in, and the instant i took him he stopped crying. i soothed him for a few minutes and handed him back, and he immediately started screaming again despite fiancé doing everything identically to me.
we are generally pretty equal in how much time we spend taking care of the baby, so it’s not like the baby’s more familiar with me. it’s nice to have this superpower but also i do not want the related responsibilities.
