Spoiled? Or just a stage?

Posted 01/29/2012

Help! My 5 month old cries non stop when other family members like her paternal grandmother, aunts and uncles hold her.Before hhand,  when people came to visit she was very friendly and jolly around them. Now she SCREAMS TO THE TOP OF HER LUNGS! Is it because she don't see them everyday? We attend church regularly (every sunday) and the same individuals try to hold her every sunday and she still screams. Is this a stage that infants go through? Or did we as parents spoil her to the point where she only wants us to handle her? How can i break this?

It is just a phase all babies go through around 5 months old. It's called stranger or separation anxiety. They only feel comfortable with people they see everyday (siblings, or Mommy and Daddy).  My DS went through it for a month or so, but once he hit maybe 7-8 months old, he was OK with other people holding him. They do eventually get over it. It's just some babies have it longer than others. So don't get discouraged if it doesn't go away right away.
