Yes, I do have a daughter.
I have never said that babies do not recognize their fathers. It is just that their attachment to mother is usually more important in their first few years of life.
A baby can bond with the Father emotionally just as much as the mother. I know a few babies that nurse from the mother, but for comfort will always go to their father.
Babies are quite smart and are fully capable of bonding with multiple people, and can even assign roles to them: This person for this need, etc.
