Baby crying hysterically when meeting family.

[Tara85xx]

So as the topic says my little girl cries hysterically when meeting anyone.
She hasn't always been like this seems to have started the last 2weeks, she is 4 months old my family came to visit last week she was fine with them. But when we went to their house she screamed hysterically the whole time in the end I made my excuses and left as it was making me feel on edge. They couldn't even look at her without her shouting at them. Is this just a phase? Or will she always react like this to people cause I feel anxious about letting her meet anyone now. Thanks for any advice xx

@Tara85xx hello, not sure if this helps but my son was like this till about 1 year and even now is very unsure with strangers.

It is normal and please do not feel ashamed or otherwise, just support your baby and don't let her be stressed. I tries to always take him to a different room, without people, just reassure him and then we went back, and repeat as long as he settled in my arms. I did not force him to like people or to be held or even approached too closely and he is slowly getting over it. Good luck :)

Thank you for the advice I will try this next time. Just hate to see her so upset as normally she is a very happy baby always smiling and babbling away and very rarely cries so it is a shock to see her like this xx
