I would think that the only way to deal with that would be to have the father spend more time with the baby. When the baby cries, he needs to go comfort the baby and not you. If you are taking the baby from the father because it won't stop crying, then you are enforcing that behavior. The baby will start to think... "if I cry, mom will take me". The dad needs to take part in everything that you do with the baby. Changing, bathing, rocking, and all that good stuff.

That would be my opinion anyway.
