My 4 month old DS is usually happy and smiley and loves looking about him but he's recently started to cry when people he doesn't know or recognise get close to his face or hold him.
I mentioned this in passing to my health visitor and she immediately told me to get him out and socialising. I have to admit, I usually take what she says with a pinch of salt.
We do go out to the shops and for walks but I only occasionally go to baby groups. He loves looking at other babies and people when go anywhere, he only gets upset if strangers touch his face, or lean over him closely or hold him.
Is this just a phase? I'm not keen on passing him round like a parcel to get him used to it if it's not necessary and I'm not even sure this is actually a problem that needs resolved...
