Stranger danger

in June 2016 Moms
My LO is such a happy baby rarely cries always smiling and content. The inlaws are in town and she cries anytime they look at her or try to hold her. I feel really bad for them and her it's been a long weekend. I feel bad because they aren't getting much baby time but I can't stand to hear her cry. My son was never like that she seems so young to be like this 14 weeks. Anyone else going through this?

    Damien was fine with my Mom and my SIL a few weeks ago but we will see how he does when the inlaws come in a couple of weeks.

    This is new for my LO 2-3 weeks ago she was fine with anyone holding her as long as she was fed and not tiered now she's changed her mind.

    My oldest cried when strangers held him from 10 weeks on. He had really bad stranger danger. My other two hasn't been quite as bad, but I've never had a kid who will just go to anyone.

    Preston used to cry when my MIL held him which made me sad cause she's my #1 choice for a babysitter and I love her to death. But last time we went to their house he was fine. Just a phase I guess.

    Bringing this thread back. My DD just started this the past couple weeks with family. She's cried with my sister and my mom as soon as I hand her to them. Anyone else dealing with this and have any strategies to handle it? My mom will be watching her when I go back to work on the 14th. She watched her for a bit today and she was so upset she refused the bottle, too. Ugh! She eventually took 3 ounces.

    I warn friends and family before we arrive to stay back for a few minutes and let Damien get used to the room and the faces. It has worked really well thus far. They just hang back and say hello and then one by one approach him. He is all smiles at that point. I also talk positively to him and reassure him that this is a happy time and good people.

    Great tip! Thank you! I'll try that next time.

    I always kinda worry about this in the back of my mind.  Preston is so social and lives to smile at people and interact with then I'm worried that one day that will just change.  I should do this too just as a precaution cause I hear it happens a lot.

    It happened pretty suddenly with Damien. We definitely weren't prepared. Thankfully our family and friends all understand when we ask them to keep it lowkey when we first arrive. I was told this new development is actually a good thing since it shows that they are progressing and that we shouldn't worry too much. I also bring a little security blanket with me that has our scent on it. He can hold onto it if he is still uneasy in the new environment. We stick around him (holding and such) until we see he is relaxed (usually when he starts cooing and smiling at the new people) and then let someone else hold him or put him on a blanket to continue soaking in everything and folks can just come to him.

    Bennett just recently started doing this a week or two ago all of a sudden.  We visited my sister, and he stuck out his bottom lip as far as it can go and just started crying so hard. He did it again with my dad and MIL, who he doesn't see as much either. He is okay when we are holding him and will smile and talk to anyone in front of him, but the second he realizes someone he doesn't know too well is holding him, he gets really upset.  The way he sticks out his bottom lip is almost cartoonish...I know he is so unhappy but it's so cute, I can't help but laugh.

    Savannah is in a serious mommy mode, she used to smile and coo at everyone and now she has serious RBF.

    At least she is still my happy, smiley baby at home!

    Well my father and law came to visit this weekend and she's been extremely fussy. The few times she's been fine he has been out or asleep in his room. So idk if she's confused on why he is here. My hubby is deployed in military so it's just been her and I since she was 2 months she'll be 5 months Wednesday. Idk if that's why but she has also been congested and teething so that could play a part in it too. He leaves tomorrow so hopefully things go back to normal.
