My son is a big big mummys boy, but hes not really frightened of strangers..

Isa is shy with people and needs a few mintues before she starts to show off, as to where cam loves people and will go with anybody..

Usually seperation anxiety happens after 6 months but every baby is different so could just be yours is going through it earlier!

But it would go away right?

it comes and goes and they usually grow out of it eventually.

What happened to my post!??!!

Anyways, I said that when you hand your son off, let the person who has him try to soothe him. If after 3 mins, he's still not calm. Then take him back.

But, learnging to be soothed by someone *besides* mommy will help him when he goes into day care or school.

I let .Oni cry and cry until my mom, or whoever, could soothe her themselves. Now, anyone can put her to sleep and anyone can calm her down. She's not a mommy's girl or a daddy's girl.

She will cry if I wave and say "bye" and walk out the room!!

She'll be 5 months on .Sunday, so if her being shy was gonna happen, i'm sure i'd see signs of it now.

Good luck girl!!
