I had my second son 8 months ago the difference between him and my first is worrying me a little
My 8 month old is scared of any type of ball like a football for example, I've been trying to get him used to it by just rolling one to him slowly but it just seems crazy having to get him used to a ball
He makes this nervous little noise to anything new, he's terrified of a picture of a dog at my mums house and just screams if we go there
I try and take my eldest to soft play but again my baby is terrified there even when it's empty during school time
Is this just a phase ? He's been really sensitive since he was born and I can't lie I'm a little worried it's a sign of something more complex I know I'm probably overthinking. It's just I've looked after so many babies over the years (nanny) and I've never known such a nervous baby
He did have colic (reflux and cmpa) so I don't know if he's just traumatised
