LO has always taken time to warm up to people, especially men, but we can't seem to get her to warm up to BIL. It took a while with my brother for her to get used to him so we tried the same method. We had him gradually get closer to her every time he saw her and then when he went to touch her, she lost it again. We think part of the problem is that BIL and DH look so much alike. We're wondering if she doesn't think he's DH and when he gets close enough for her to realize he isn't, she gets upset.

I don't remember my nephew having this problem but I'm not sure if they both had their beards all the time when he was little either.

Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this? Is it just something we have to wait for her to grow out of?
