How many hours a day do you think you hold your baby?

Recently my son decided to "ignore" his daddy, he would go as far as to turn his face away from his dad all day long. His daddy seems to think our son did this because he was the one to put him down for a nap and I was the one to get him so because Daddy didnt come to the rescue he was given the cold shoulder. But that worry-wart of a mommy inside me shouted the question "Am I holding him enough?"

Does he spend to much time in Bumbo chairs, feeding chairs, bouncers, exersaucers, tummy time mats and so on?? I know he needs time to practice his motor skills, and I am talking with him while hes in these chairs.. but Id like to compare how much time other moms spend holding their babies outside of feeding times...holding baby for the sake of being held....

Honesty is my only request.

Oh I think it might also be important to add that his Dad goes straight to our boy when he gets off of work and is constantly playing with him and holding him. I dont want someone to get the wrong idea here and think my son is ignoring him becuase his daddy isnt holding him. Im just worried for the future. This little game of ignore daddy just brought his understanding of the world around him into clearer focus
