So M is 4.5 months old and seems to be starting to have a tiny bit of separation anxiety... but it's only in very specific situations. I know at day care she does fine when there are floaters in her room even if she doesn't know them. The issues happen when I'm holding her, and then pass her to anyone other than her dad. She does fine for about 30 seconds and then rolls out her bottom lip and wails until I take her back. I know this is totally normal (and it does melt my heart a little)... but I'm wondering if there is a way to sort of nip this in the bud before it gets worse. Any suggestions?

We have had something similar happen recently...it helps if I hold LO and talk to the person I'm passing him off to and kind of let him get used to seeing them/hearing them. Then I'll give him to them and stay right there for a few minutes before moving away. If I do it slowly, he seems to be ok.

We are goign through the same thing at 6 months, I have to ease her into it, I can't hand her off right away or she freaks out. the person has to talk to her while I'm holding her and then she will go with a little more ease.

we are dealing with this too, but im not gonna lie, i kinda like it lol. i hate having a bunch of people hold her! if i leave the room she is fine, but its when she can see me/hear me she freaks and turns in my direction and lunges at me
