Have you spoken with your partner about your concerns? Having an infant, as you know, is a life-changing event, and he may be going through all kinds of emotions that he has not reconciled with yet.
In my experience, it really can take men longer to "absorb" being a father, as women who have been pregnant and deliver a healthy, full-term baby have essentially been mothers for 9 months previous during their pregnancy (watching what we eat, taking care of our bodies and growing baby).
