I swear my son prefers being with everyone but me. He would rather go with people he doesn’t know, then as soon as he is passed back to me he gets fussy again. I keep reading about secure attachment but he doesn’t have that. I do everything for him and he’s very loved. What am I doing wrong?

How old is your little one?
It sounds like he has a very secure attachment - he knows where he is safe and who he can trust to care for him even at his worst so he doesn’t have to “put on a show” with you.
Sometimes it really sucks because everyone else gets the lovely smile and happy baby and it’s draining for you always dealing with the fussiness
he’s 8 months. It’s so hard because he’s so chilled in the arms of other people but he squirms to get out of mine
