My baby only cries with certain people

So my 4 Month old Daughter is probably one of the most friendliest happiest babies ever she hardly screams and cries. But recently whenever my Brother or Aunts come around she instantly starts crying just by hearing their voice she’ll cry like she’s in pain and it’s worse when they try to hold her. She’s fine will me, her father my parents and even around play groups but it’s only around certain people she acts like she can’t stand them. I’m sure that’s not the case but she’s been around my family members since birth so they are no stranger to her.
Any advice or tips to why this may be or what I can do?

I think she’s clearly telling you she doesnt want them to hold her. It sounds like a phase and it will pass Smile

Sometimes children just take random dislikes to people and IME there really isn't anything you can do to change their minds. For about the first year of his life my son would scream and cry every time my poor lovely FIL so much as glanced in his direction. Thankfully he got over it, but we still have no idea what caused the aversion in the first place, or why he suddenly decided that he liked FIL after all!
