She's still very social but more reluctant to go to strangers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-develop-stranger-anxiety#post-67855 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:17:47 +0000 heffalump 67855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was always shy with people, but it got bad at 4 months. Like she would cry if someone looked at her bad. Now at 6 months people are allowed to look and even talk to her, but it's rare that they're allowed to hold her if it's not me, hubby, or my mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-develop-stranger-anxiety#post-67805 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:23:53 +0000 pelikila 67805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No true stranger anxiety seemed to occur but separation anxiety definitely hit at 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-develop-stranger-anxiety#post-67801 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:10:08 +0000 Andrea 67801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the question is about stranger anxiety but I see a lot of people talking about separation anxiety so I will answer both. </p> <p>As far as separation anxiety, from birth. I've never been able to leave her alone in a room up until this day and she is 21 months. </p> <p>For stranger anxiety, I don't think she has ever cried from just being looked at. As far as being held by strangers, I don't think we've had much issue with that since she started daycare at 6 months and so has grown up being held by people other than me or DH. And now she's big enough that people don't feel the need to pick her up when they see her. But she is shy, so will hug my leg or something like that if we are in a group of strangers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-develop-stranger-anxiety#post-67795 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 08:35:28 +0000 SAHM0811 67795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's started around 6 months. She's 7 months now and last night if I left the room she'd crawl after me and cry! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-develop-stranger-anxiety#post-67787 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 07:13:16 +0000 Rubies 67787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 6 months old and her stranger anxiety/separation anxiety started at 4.5 months. Now, she's 6months and now, it seems as though she doesn't mind being held by someone else as long as she can see me. She's going through a crazy separation anxiety phase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-develop-stranger-anxiety#post-67739 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 22:18:16 +0000 sunshine44 67739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has been great with strangers so far, but today (she's now 6 months) we had a big event and she cried when anyone took her from my arms, especially if it was a man! I was surprised because she is usually very friendly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-develop-stranger-anxiety#post-67731 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 21:53:06 +0000 chopsuey 67731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll watch the video tomorrow!

It was weird because she saw the person weekly. She's 10 months old and so far so good. Didn't cry when she saw the in laws this weekend </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-develop-stranger-anxiety#post-67725 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 21:36:42 +0000 Mrs. Bee 67725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Olive has always been fine with lots of different people holding her. But yesterday some friends came over and Olive started crying anytime anyone would look at her!</p> <p>Here is a video (towards the way end if you want to skip)</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkoYM8tc2z4&#038;list=UUl4eoDNdDZEv-PgxWkW21jg&#038;index=13&#038;feature=plcp" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkoYM8tc2z4&#038;list=UUl4eoDNdDZEv-PgxWkW21jg&#038;index=13&#038;feature=plcp</a></p> <p>She's 4 months old today. </p> <p>Did you baby ever develop stranger anxiety? Charlie definitely went through a phase of it from about 4-8 months or so.... </p>
