Stranger Anxiety

Marci1116 by Marci1116 In Nappies(October 2008) (rank 500+)

I just wanted to post some advice about stranger anxiety. When my daughter was 7 months old she would cry hysterically whenever my mother in law tried to hold her. I was told to just be patient and keep exposing her to my mother in law . Little by little

she became more and more comfortable with my mother in law.  Well, let me tell you what happened yesterday. My daughter is now 15 month old. When we tried to leave my mother in law house she cried hysterically because she wanted to stay with "gamma". Keep the faith !!!

Re: Stranger Anxiety

stranger anxiety is very normal and really steams from separation anxiety. Babies are afraid of being left by their carer. This is developmentally normal that babies go through and it heightens before it gets better.
