My 8 month old daughter is so pleasant when she's around my husband, me and close family. When we try and socialize with friends or go to gatherings and people come to see her or pick her up she cries and screams. She was colic when she was born but shouldn't she have outgrown that by now? People stare at me when she's crying like I'm doing something wrong and I feel helpless. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

She is nervous because they are strangers. If you go out with many people that overstimulates her. Have one or two people over to your home and have dinner. Have quiet time with her where there isn't so much noise. Realize that most people see a baby and think "oooh I want to hold her". Well? Put yourself in her place? She is small and defenseless and someone she doesn't know or recognize just picked her up and started touching her. They smell different and are scary. If someone did that to you? Don't you think you'd scream? I know I would. I have 2 girls ages almost 5 and 8. The oldest one didn't like men much if they were young looking. The youngest one thinks anyone with gray hair is a "Papa" or a "Grammy". Its all perceptions. I slowly introduced the girls to people in ones and twos. It also took me some time to realize even as babies they definately had personalities. :)

some unneutered cats do not spray, in spite of the indisputable fact that, they're in many circumstances quite presented on to finish that. What this suggests is faster or later, once you've a centred visitor over at your position, your cat may ascertain to start up spraying because some thing about the recent scent triggers it. there's a extreme probability that when you get him yet another cat for a significant different that he will start up spraying then and tutor the aggression your vet warned you about. He may also faster or later see some thing (yet another cat is an effective set off) outdoors that makes him start up those behaviors, and start up asking to bypass out. The worst area is that when he starts, neutering him isn't a ensure that he will provide up. distinctive the time neutering will provide up it. yet now and again, the cat comes living house and doesn't comprehend his personal scent anymore and keeps to spray to circumvent the different cat (it truly is actual him), and considering he's contained in the habit of doing so. in spite of the indisputable fact that the coolest information is that if he's a loving, good-natured cat now, neutering him received't change that. What it truly is maximum in all probability to do is "provide up" him the position he's at - instead of letting his personality evolve right into a better aggressive/territorial cat as he receives older.

Hi sweety,
My son was the same way. To stop that we had to invite people over that he wasn't too familiar with, but of course we knew them well. We had to continuelly do it so he would get used to it. Finally it worked it didn't take too long. Oh and we also let a baby sitter that we trusted watch him a day or so out of the week, now that is what i think really broke him. At first he would cry when we started walking out the door to leave him, but sooner than later he slowly began to tell us byebye. He had to get used of being around other poeple. Hope I helped a lil.

Mama - this too shall pass!
What can you do? Love her, cherish her, be patient. Get a sitter for brief times, gradually increasing the length of time. Parents aren't always able to be the same social creatures they were before becoming parents. But, remain sane. Find someone to take turns watching one another's children so you do have breaks from being "owned" by the child. Take turns with your husband, "escaping" from the unreasonable (??!!??) demands of the child. Again - this too shall pass!

Actually 8 month old's do cry when somebody that the child doesn't know very good will cry. That is just what they do. Let the child get to be comfortable around the people before allowing them to pick her up.

Your not the only one. My husband and I put off social events for a good year, just because it was hard to do. It gets a bit easier though :)

well, some say, don't socialize, and i say take her out around town, with a lot of people, just be sure about germs, and let her get use to different people. start by , just adding one friend at a time, and slowly, bring it up to more people.
