Baby crying at men

For the past few months, my 6 month girl cries whenever she sees a certain few male family members and often cries at men she doesn't know when out and about. Does anyone know why this happens and if there is anything I can do to help? She has never had a negative encounter with the few family members but she only has to look at them and she bursts out crying frantically and will not stop until they or she leaves the room.

Silly question but do they have physical features that confuse her? My hubby has a beard and baby tends to cry at men without beards It's not a negative experience just takes baby out of their comfort zone x

Could it be a certain smell? Strong perfume?

@Louise we thought it could be beards as one of them has a beard and the other doesn't but her dad also has a beard and she doesn't cry at him. Neither of them wear glasses. We are struggling to link it to a physical feature x

@Sahr I don't think so as none of them have a distinctive smell and she can be the other side of the room from them and still cries

My little girl does the same. She cries when she sees 2 of my brothers or a male she isn’t familiar with. With my brothers she literally screams untill they leave the room. I think she’s scared because she doesn’t see them much. I thought maybe it was because one of them has a big beard but my dad’s beard is massive and she’s absolutely fine with him. It could just be that they aren’t familiar faces and they get scared

I used to be scared of any man with a moustache.. like every single one I would scream blue murder 😂
