Hi all,
My DS seems to already have 'stranger danger' in that he will cry when held by unfamiliar people and stops crying immediately when returned to me. I thought this usually happened at around 6mths but my DS has been like this for some time now. Is it usual for a young baby to be wary of new people? Even if I am holding him he may get upset if someone new tries to engage him (not always though, but often enough). At mother's group, all the babies lie on a mat together but my DS is only happy doing this if I am in close distance (and preferably sitting there with him) but all the other babies don't seem to worry about where their mums are. He is fine with well known adults (ie. his dad, granny ect).
Interestingly, when in our home he seems a bit more receptive to new people. What do you think?? Anyone elses children like this at such a young age and if so did they grow out of it?
