She is a couple of weeks old. Since I went back to work at the beginning of the week whenever I hold her if she is awake she will cry.

I rock and sooth her which will sometimes quieten her for a brief period but eventually she will cry to be fed or for her Mum.

It makes me feel like less of a man or like there is something wrong with me. I want to be the strong father figure she can feel comfortable with but also I want to be able to sooth her while the mother sleeps and gets things done.

Has anyone had this experience or have any advice?
