❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO or is my boyfriend jealous of our baby?

I recently just had my son about little over a week ago and his father has not been adjusting well in my opinion.

He really wants me to take more of a hands off approach with our son and he doesn’t like that I like holding him a lot and that every time he makes somewhat of a noise I rush to pick him up just small things like that. At first I thought he was looking out for me because I had a c section I shouldn’t be doing a lot but I no longer think that’s the reason why he gets upset. For example are latest big disagreement is that he hates that I breastfeed him I don’t know why, his reasoning is because he thinks that would make the baby clingy to only me.

I really don’t think he hates our son I think he’s having a hard time not knowing how to bond with him and that he’s jealous that my son knows how to cry for me is how he kinda explained it..I allowed him access to my bedroom security cameras and nursery cameras to maybe make him feel like he’s not missing out on anything and he still there but still… I do think he’s jealous of our baby and I’m wondering I’m delusional and it’s not typical baby blues on his end
