My 6 month-old has always been VERY friendly. But lately, she's "scared" of some people,especially those with loud laughter. My mother-in-law has a boyfriend, who has a loud laughter, and my daughter is so afraid of him. When he comes to visit, she could be all smiles, and as soon as she sees him, she starts to pout, and to cry. I know that she will eventually grow out of it, and that it's only a "phase", but my mother-in-law INSISTS on bringing the baby closer to him. yesterday, she even asked him if he wanted to hold her! I felt a bit upset, to be honest, because she didn't ask ME if it was ok, and she knows the baby is scared of that man, why can't she wait until later, when the baby feels more comfortable around him? By the way, he laughed when he had her on his lap, and sure enough, she started to cry! Is it necessary to put the baby thru that? Could it be better if my MIL would give her time to get used to seeing him around? How can I talk to her about this without upseting her?
