I am not sure if this helps or not.

I am stay home mom so I spend a lot more time with our son than my husband. My husband absolutely loves our son but of course, being daddy is not easy thing to master. It is learning process.

So what I did was I always told him what our son and I did today, what made him laugh, what made him cry, what he liked, what kind of holding position he liked, what made him stop crying and etc every day. So my husband will know these little techniques/tips when he spend time with our son.
I also gave a lot of complements to my husband when he was doing great with our son. It made him feel more confident as daddy and he enjoyed spending time with baby.

One another thing I did was, inform my husband what to expect at each age/month. So my husband will know what our baby is like at 2 months, 3 months, 4 months......and so on.

Maybe you can do the same to help out your husband? Maybe he simply does not know what to do or how to do.
