4 month old cried when I picked her up from Granny

[CapricornMum]

I’m a new mum on Mat Leave and my DD is now 4 months old. We spend every day together and I’m sure we’ve built a strong bond because I try to be very attentive and present and playful but this situation worried me. I’m probably just being silly and over thinking but I’m hopeful for some reassurance if that is the case!
Her Granny my DMIL lives in an annexe in our garden and I asked her to watch her for 20 minutes whilst I just sorted some chores and got dinner on as my DH was out that evening with his football, so I needed a hand.
when I went to pick DD up I knew she would be tired as it was 10 minutes before her bath time and she’d skipped her usual 4pm nap.
when I went in she was happy playing.
My DMIL had her on her knee holding her up at the table so she could play with her toys on the table. She didn’t smile at me when she saw me and barely acknowledged me. Then when she did finally looked at me, she turned back to her toys and then burst into tears. Like she was really sad I was there.
she’s also been way more smiley and excited by my DH (her DF) than me recently too.
am I being paranoid or are these possible signs that she’s not bonded with me like I thought?

TIA

More like she feels completely secure in her relationship with you which gives her confidence to reach out to other people. You are a constant in her life and other people are a novelty. It is easy to feel like you do as a new Mum but try not to worry yourself. When their communication gets better it becomes very obvious how much you are needed.

Ok thank you so much for replying and for the reassurance! I already feel a bit silly after some sleep! Definitely a case of over thinking. Probably as I have my first night away from her this week for a very close friends Hen do!

Perfectly normal. Babies and children often ignore you and/or cry when they first see you. I'd take it as a compliment, you obviously have a fabulous bond abs she was relieved to see you

Sounds like a dream situation that your child is comfortable and happy around other people! You might find this as a blessing as you know your child will be able to adapt to others when you aren't around busy doing other things and most importantly they are having fun. Less stress for you!

Thanks everyone! Definitely the reassurance I needed. It’s all so new and you’re constantly worrying your getting it wrong with all the info online!
