Temperament can be inherited. There might
be no real reason for this, other than
your baby's propensity toward this type of
behavior. Patient, consistently loving
reinforcement can guide your baby over
time. There's no real "quick fix",
though.

I read somewhere that babies go through a
separation anxiety around this age, so
maybe that's what's going on. Just spoke
to my girlfriend, who has an 11 month old
daughter, & she also had this happen
to her... Does your baby behave this way
with other people or just with mommy?? My
son only does it during the day when he's
at home with me... Very frustrating!!!!

To ms. yogahoneybunny,
I don't know how you can say that when you
don't know who you're saying it about in
the first place. & you're supposed to
be a supporter?? Who said anything about
a "quick fix"? We're new mommies that came
on here for advice not critics from
strangers we've never met & whom have
never met our children. Try asking
questions next time instead. That's what I
get for going on these forums in the first
place....

My bad, VeeVee.
I meant no offense. I was strictly
repeating information I learned in my
developmental psychology course. I was
not assuming that you were looking to
patch the situation. I was simply stating
that if temperament is causing fussiness,
it might be 6-18 months before the
temperament changes.
Again, sorry that my original message was
not clear. I see how it could be
interpreted as criticism (not my
intention). No hard feelings?
