It has alot to do with how mommy feels when someone is touching your belly or trying to get a reaction. I hate when random friends put there hands on my belly and just stand there and wait cuz my son knows when he's being expected and he won't move at all. But when his daddy does, I'm always pretty happy and excited and (as long as I'm not accidentally holding my breath in waiting, or nervously thinking he's not gonna kick for him) he most usually kicks right on cue. But his dad also started talking and singing to him quite alot the last couple weeks. So if you're feeling apprehensive or worried that he won't kick on cue for his dad, try to relax and tell the baby daddy to try talking to him regularly ( thats the special thing about daddy, he gets to get right up on the belly and talk closer than anyone else and it really helps for bonding )

Mine loves her daddy whenever he touches my tummy or gently pokes at it she reaches and kicks for him. I hate when he does it when we are going to bed because she will move for a good 30 min to an hour and I would have to readjust to get comfortable again.

A way to make him feel better about it is to tell him that he's the only one to get her to calm down.  My little boy wouldn't move for my boyfriend, either. It'll change when you get bigger and they really run out of room in there.

Maybe it's because when I'm around him most of the time I cry.. lol she may not like him... I'm just kidding but it's so weird she moves for everybody else I even put my hand on my tummy and feel her from the outside .. He doesn't talk to her he thinks it's weird .. maybe he will come around when I get bigger.. I don't know what to say when I talk to her either. Sometimes I feel crazy doing it lol

Even if he ***** at singing get him to sing and talk to ur belly bond with her even before she comes out. I am 33 weeks and my little girl even if she can feel her daddy is close without him talking she tries to jump out of my stomach.

That's funny it's the opposite for me. If my boyfriend places his hand on my belly, both of my twins move for him but if I do it, they settle down.
