YummyMummy agony auntI would talk to him about what is going on with him as it could be any number of things. As Tommy7 said he could be scared of hurting the baby. When my niece was born my sister's partner wouldn't even hold her at first but my sister showed him how to hold her, change her etc and he soon couldn't put her down. Being a parent does come naturally once fear is gotten over.

Also ask him where you and him stand. If he doesn't want to be with you then you need to tell him that you want him to be there for your child.

Good Luck!

He is probably affraid of hurting the baby. Show him how to do things a little at a time. Over time he will get into it more.
