Normal for baby to cry at men?!

My 11 month old cries whenever any other men apart from her Dad try and talk to her. We don’t have much family nearby so the only other man is her uncle and she REALLY cries whenever he talks to her! It also happened at a baby group this week too with a different man 🥲 it’s really awkward. Anyone else??

I won’t vote as it’s not happened to my LO but I will be honest and say I did it too as a baby! My mum told me that whenever any male came in our house apart from my dad I screamed the house down - I grew out of it obviously 😅

My girl used to do this but it only lasted a couple of weeks.

To a smaller extent perhaps but my LG went through a phase of bursting into tears when my uncle, my nephew, and my brother in law held or started talking to her if she wasn't being held by me. I think she was about 9/10mo old. She doesn't seem to do it anymore though so hopefully just a phase!!

good to know you got over it! 😅

it’s been a couple of months now for us and still happening, hopefully it ends soon! 🤞🏻

My boy would do it . Any man would smile at him scream men working counters say hi at the shops scream . Lasted till he was a year took a while for him to fully warm up to granddad. Would need grandma to reintroduce them every time . Just men he would bat his eyes at girls/women when did the same thing.

I have the oposite, babe is obsessed with men! Trip to the butchers is her fave day of the week 🤣

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Don’t want to leave my first born😭😭😭

Anyone else extremely sad and anxious to leave their first born😭

He’s 2 and we have never not put him to bed or be here for when he wakes up😭

I’m so sad and anxious about leaving him

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
