Down about something my aunty said..

[ttc_lolly]

Of course she doesn't need to be examined! Nate doesn't like being handled too much by anyone besides me or DH. His family all want to hold him all the time and he never tolerates more than a few minutes with anyone else besides me or DH before he cries. I think MIL gets annoyed at this because she never really gets to hold him but he screams most when she holds him.

We saw her one weekend at theirs and he screamed and screamed so we left after an hour or two and they came to ours the next weekend and before she came she rang and said to me 'Nathan WILL be in a better mood today then, won't he?'. How the heck am i supposed to know?? hah, probably not! He hates when you hold him!

I HATE it when someone asks if Amber will be in a better mood than the last time they saw her ffs she is a baby! She eats, sleeps & poos and thats all she knows to do! She also spends 24/7 with me and even knew me from when she was inside my womb of course she prefers me to anyone else! As if she's being moody! x

How annoying and hurtful for you. There is nothing wrong with her, you know her best and you would surely get some attention if you thought there was something wrong for gods sake.
Try not to let it get the better of you, you are obviously doing amazingly well, thats why she wants to be with her mummy all the time
I know lots of babies that are the same, and my little girl went through that about 5 months, she just wanted me really because they start to realise when they are with different people that are not familiar, its only natural for them to feel insecure, poor bubs.
It will pass hun
I remember a time, when lo was only a week old (just before the colic started) and as a newborn got tired every quickly, everyone was getting in her face and keeping her awake and over stimulating her, my cousin was like "why does she cry so much? why cant even you comfort her?" as a first time mum, that kind of thing gets you down, so I understand, but its them thats the problem, not you or your lo, get a stick and tell them to back offf!!! lol only joking xxxx

oh what a silly thing to say! baby's cry, especially when they are past around, it's natural and normal for them. my toddler is still shy with strangers she doesn't no, i think it's part of growing up! xx

My best friend said this the other day and she works with children...!!
I was saying how lucky i am as she doesnt cry much and she was like " well she was crying so much when I last saw her..! yeah she was teething and crying in pain! Shes a baby for gods sake!! aghhh

Daisy was just as bad for a couple of months! She's coming out of it now, but when she's tired she goes right back!

 

[Seity]

Actually, it's a good sign that she recognizes strangers and prefers you.

my LO only cries when MIL holds him. anyone and everyone else can hold him bounce him, tickle him etc and hes happy and laughing.

of course when MIl holds him and he cries "its because you got him spoilt" (when i take him from her and hes laughing again.)

 

[trumpetbum]

What a bloody cretin. Even if she did think that kind of comment was warranted..a quiet word would suffice. As it is, she couldn't be more wrong, it's completely normal for children to be wary of strangers and some children find interaction with people they don't know well more difficult and this would be especially hard if those people were trying to overstep the child's boundaries and cuddle her.

omg !
theres nothing wrong with yr baby hun loads of them go through it. harrys only 5 weeks old but he doesnt like not being able to see me last night i stepped behind the shower screen and he screamed the house down !! when other people have hold of yr daughter she feels her safety net (you) isnt close enough and so she objects ! dont blame her xxx
oh and yr aunty sounds scary i can see why lo screams at her !!!

 

[iceylou]

nothing wrong with her at all but as someone else said maybe ur aunt needs seeing too, medically not physically. nicole is the same with all my family expcept my niece, she just giggles and laughs when she sees her, im not surprised my niece(23) does look funny sometimes when she attacks her hair with the back combing brush lol

nicole luvs the inlaws and i think its coz she likes been held high up, they are all very tall so when they have her in their arms she luvs looking down at everyone lol. she screams the place down when im in my mums, cries hysterically when she sees my sister (well if i was younger so would i lol).

 

[sophxx]

my los 9 months and no one can even look at him that he doesnt know he just screams evemn at my gran its normal theres nothing wrong with your baby x

Sorry but I'm relieved to read this!

Freya is exactly the same, she will scream her head off if anyone other than me or DH looks at her.

It can even be my mum from across the room talking to her and smiling and she will scream. If anyone stops me in the street she will scream.

No one held her at Xmas apart from me and DH as she really does get in a state. DH even had to walk in her house first, say 'Freya's coming in, everyone ignore her and carry on with what you're doing'. It did work, people didn't overwhelm her and she gradually got more confident but still wasn't happy with too much close attention!

I've asked the doctor and they say it's a form of separation anxiety and stranger awareness and she'll grow out of it. No idea when though as it's been about 3 months!

 

[scq09]

Amelia has been making strange with everyone other than me the last few weeks, I think its normal for babies to get overwhelmed by new people or faces. There is nothing wrong with your baby

 

[BethK]

Must admit as it's been going on for 3 months now I've thought about a psychiatrist!

 

[Danigirl22891]

Don't pay her no mind. Babies are people to and just have there days. Kiara has had her days where her daddy just has to look at her and she cries and tries to bury herself into me. Your her mommy she was in your tummy for 9 months.

 

[Vickie]

sounds normal to me! We went to Texas when Hannah was 5 months old she screamed if any of my family so much as looked at her (bar my mom!) forget holding her (again with the exception of my mom). it's just a stage it does get better, silly woman

 

[pinklightbulb]

As the others have said, just ignore her hun! All babies are different and will warm up to others when they are ready

 

[SRTBaby]

We went to my Inlaws for christmas and it was horrible for my LO. He cried so much, i think he was overwhelmed by the noises and the number of new faces. He was fine when it was just us and his granparents but once the aunts, uncles and cousins showed up he could only take it in small doses.

 

[yourahoot]

Oh my goodness!!! Who does she think she is?!!! I'd go mad if anyone said that about my LO.
My boy cries everytime he's passed around, its perfectly normal!! The thing i hate about my OHs family is that i never get to comfort my LO when he's upset about being passed around!! They do it all the more and he gets even more upset, but they think passing him back to me is giving in to him!!! Ummm hello!!! He wants his mummy, he's worried and upset!! They also seem to think they know exactly whats wrong with him too, when they flipping well dont!!!! They are always wrong! Feel like shouting "GIVE HIM TO MEEEEE!!!!!"
