My baby is scared when...

Jazma11

We open trash bags. He immediately starts crying when we change the trash and shake open the new bag. He also just started crying when I vacuum or blow dry my hair. It is sad but kinda cute too. What is your LO afraid of?

My baby is afraid of DH sneezing.

Admittedly, DH's sneezes are pretty epic.  He's a serial sneezer and goes 7-12 times in a row.

LO is afraid of baths. The water makes her scream and cry.

He is pretty chill but every now and then my LO is afraid when the dogs go crazy barking inside.

Stern voices and she really dislikes when my DH doesn't shave- not sure if she is scared or hates how it feels

We learned today that DS is freaked out by DH blowing his nose. Weirdo.

UnofficiallyLO

Sneezes. Sometimes really loud women in his face while he's in the car seat get him too.

When a bunch of people laugh at one time!

*sparky*

When DH zerberts her belly

When I pull back the shower curtain. The rings make a screeching noise against the rod and she hates it. I try to remember to open the curtain before I bring her in.

I haven't really noticed anything that spooks LO on a regular basis. He doesn't mind the vacuum, blow dryer, toilet flushing...

With that being said, one time the smoke detector went off and he lost it. I think it's because the high pitch hurt his ears more than it scared him.

If we yell at the dogs, she starts to cry. She doesn't mind them barking, but we definitely do!

RedDawnsRevenge

When people try to get her to smile.

DD doesn't mind our dog barking at all! Today she slept right through it, I was pretty annoyed by it though.

LO startles whenever anyone coughs.  I blame week 33 when I was horribly sick with bronchitis.

smushi

Oh, and the bathtub running.  He's fine with everything else.

LO doesn't mind our dog barking either! He'll sleep right through it, and the neighbour dogs' barking as well. We joke that LO's first word is going to be our dog's name since we yell it so much!

The bathroom sink running when one of us has her in there. MIL bathes her in the sink when she's over there, and apparently she's started hating baths, so now when a sink is on she goes all cat-mode. X.x;;

She's pretty chill but freaked out this morning when my husbands fire pager went off and I was nursing her in our bed. Full panic with huge eyes and pouting lip which becomes a full wail

bacorrea

The blender. Oh and whistles? At church they were doing this thing to promote Upward Basketball program and all the coaches blew their whistles and she freaked.

thejewelster

The iRobot vacuum. It's sooo funny. Dog freaks, baby starts to cry, we laugh!! Terrible parents, I know.

JessieAlbin

Daddy's beard trimmer. So much for using it to clean up the long stragglers becoming a baby mullet and around his ears.

My first thought was how my dog is terrifed of trash bags too (and when I fold laundry he runs and hides). DD laughs when my loud dogs bark, doesn't bother her at all.

But, we took her to a local HS football game last night and she was NOT happy with all the cheering! I had to take her for a walk away from the noise to calm her. When I brought her back happy, the noise started in again and also did the wailing. It was an early night.

Strangers in his face. I'm not sure where these people were raised, but I was always told to stay out of people's personal space, including babies. You don't need to be 1 inch from his face, he can see you just fine if you stand back here with me. See, oh look...he's smiling because he can see me...from way back here. Try it with me now.

And kids that are grabby. I've said it a few times now, don't touch his face, he doesnt like his face touched, stay out of his face. It's like I'm a broken record. And the sad part, the mom is sitting right there doing nothing. So now I make it a point to say it with a stern voice.

My niece does this. ^ I'm like..her parent aka my sister should be a parent and tell her to stop...not me. I don't like getting onto other people's kids anyway.

When she is half asleep and I put her down, sometimes she opened her eyes, gets a really scared look on her face, shakes her baby fists and starts to cry.

juniper75

My MIL - for some reason she burts into tears when she sees her. Loves FIL though.

Oh and pop cans - she doesn't cry but she startles anytime someone opens a pop can, even if she is asleep.

hpanabaker

When DH sneezes.  Or if he laughs really loud.

ccollins06

Samesies with shaking out a new trash bag. Also, when using the ice maker. It seems to be the more abrupt noises. Ironically, I use the vacuum & hair dryer to soothe. Doesn't always work and seems to be less successful as of late, but I've grown quite accustomed to turning on the vacuum to induce nap time. I only do it if he's fighting sleep and already fussing/crying. It's almost guaranteed to stop the crying, even if just for a few moments. It's like it stuns/startles him quiet. Also, it's easier on me to drown out some of the fuss and in the meantime my carpeting and floors are getting the VIP treatment.

DS is terrified of the vacuum but laughs at the dog barking. Crazy boy!

Blender, vacuum and public toilets flushing.
