As much as possible, and believe me I know it's difficult, but you need to step back and let DH take care of your DS.

We had this problem with my daughter, and we would probably still have a problem since I'm not one to take a step back, but I broke my foot. I believe that it was meant to be because it forced me to step back (literally). I couldn't carry her nor go up the stairs to put her to bed or give her a bath; daddy HAD to do it and she HAD to accept it and that's how they finally bonded.

Now, she still prefers me when she's upset, but I think that's natural; however, she has no problem with dad helping her with anything else.

Good luck.
