Is it possible for my baby to be scared of men at this age?!šŸ˜…

Any time any man (other than my partner) tries to hold my little girl or interact with her from a distance/in the pram, she screams until me or my partner hold her?!šŸ˜… That includes my dad, my father in law, her cousins and any stranger on the street… I don’t know where this has come from and it’s developed in the last few weeks. She’s not like it with woman..even when I go to a mums group with 11 other strangers in a room trying to talk to her doesn’t freak her out?!🤣 THANKFULLY, she’s not the same with her dad, because I’d never get a breakšŸ˜… Anyone else in the same boat?! (Pic of her and the only man that’s allowed to hold heršŸ˜‚)

Yes! Was chatting with my family the other day about how my first son (now 2) was terrified of men for months!! He was a mega cling on though & wouldn’t go to anybody else šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø However he is now a very sociable little boy & very confident. Some just need a minute haha! My second son isn’t bothered but wouldn’t surprise me if he goes through a phase of it at some point too xx

Yes, normal. My older daughter went through a phase like this too. She's now 2 years old and has been fine with men for a while, don't remember exactly when it stopped

Yes. My 4 months old boy is terrified of men. Sometimes even my husband. Especially when they speak, he screams. I’m hoping he grows of it

I was the same growing up, my mum was just saying that the other day. For now my LO is fine but she's got an older brother with a big deep voice that she loves so we will see! Its completely normal though and it will eventually pass, don't worry !
