@Isabelle I wouldn’t even get chance to leave the room before she starts crying, and I couldn’t then leave knowing they can’t settle her :/
Do they ever come to your house? Maybe try it in her everyday environment?
Mine does something similar. I feel guilty that she’s upset but also guilty that other people can’t get baby cuddles. It’s hard to feel like it’s not personal for family. You’re all your baby needs or wants. Nothing wrong but I know how exhausting it is!
@Lucy unfortunately my parents & partner don’t get on so wouldn’t be able to but I definitely think it’d help.. she’s too much like me and her dad, she just loves being at home
@Neets I love that she feels so safe and secure with myself and her dad, but it’s difficult to see my parents getting upset when they can’t even hold her without her screaming
It’s literally the same with me! I’m struggling so much, any other family members she cries the whole house down, even when I’m there. I would say be in the room with her or hold her when your family members are there. Before it was so worse, where she even cried the house down if she was held by her dad and grandma! But over time I would hold her and she would stare at them, till now she is fine being held by them, still can’t nap or drink milk by them, but little steps I’m hoping it gets better 🤞🏽 I wish you the best! Hang in there!
@Yasmeen Alam I think im going to try this, ill be the one to get her out of her car seat and hold her whilst she gets used to the different faces. I’m not sure if it’s also because their house is so much busier than ours.
Maybe it's that she can always see you, so would prefer to be with you? You could try leaving her a bit if you're comfortable? Not necessarily the house, but you could go have a shower or something. The other day I went upstairs to tidy up while my family had the baby, I could hear her laughing and giggling but as soon as I walked back in the room and she saw me she burst into tears and screamed and screamed!
