My 4 month old often cries her lungs out when picked up by Grandma and other family members. Is constantly looking for me. This is making visiting v stressful and I'm paranoid she's developing into a shy, anti-social little girl! She is just as bad with strangers & friends she has seen only a handful of times. She is often inconsolable even when handed back to me. Am dreading her Christening. Has anyone else experienced this - will she grow out of it? My hysband assures me she will! Should I cut her some slack as she is still very young or am I right to be panicking?

yes it was harsh - sorry.

i forget what it's like having one so young, esp. if it's your first.

Thanks again to all who have contributed to this discussion. Some very sound advice & good tips which I shall be trying out with Granny over the coming weeks. Granny has babysat dd a few times since message first posted - reports that dd has been smiley & giggly following initial screaming fits - so maybe she's coming round to her & it won't be such a problem (smile)
