Nat we put a big thick photo album under DD's feet in the jumperoo as her feet don't reach the ground either, I'm sure Fisher Price prob don't recommend it but it works!

DD will be okay for a very short time in a strangers arms, but too long, or if people get too loud and really in her face (like MIL did!) she hates it. Our problem is we do not have any family here, a SIL that rarely comes round, and a couple of DH's aunties that we don't generally catch up with, otherwise it is just us. So there isn't really anyone at all to handball DD to! A couple of friends but they either work or have kids of their own, and their own lives, you know, not the regular several visits a week that happen when family lives close. I hate the thought of her only being happy with me/DH or clingy to us, but we honestly don't have any other options. But I do need to remember that she's only 4 months old, so it's not too big an issue at this stage, but I am worried when she gets a bit older. We're doing swimming, checking out Baby Sensory tomorrow (and hope to meet Meercat and the lovely Tiah) and have Mother's Group so I'm hoping that will cover a lot of social interaction for DD as she gets older. She was fine for about half hour with FIL too, but he was really chilled and cruisy with her, not trying too hard if you know what I mean. As they were leaving MIL said next time they fly in we can go out to coffee and they'll babysit. Hmmmm I was so relieved that DH said to me he wouldn't leave her with them because she'd be too upset with strangers, so I'm glad we're on the same page there!
