My son is the same, my daughter was too. Clearly see enough of me at home and not arsed for me out and about 🤣 I'm not bothered they've got lots to take in so it's nothing personal x
@Isabelle this is such a good way to look at it. Sadly, i don’t have family who tell me I’m ever doing a good job so i think i just over think sometimes.
@Kirsty 🤣 my boy is a nosy one, so maybe he’s just enjoying the new faces.
Same! I think he just feels comfortable and safe with me and is more engaged by other stranger faces! We also find when my partner and I are both there, normally our boy will only look and smile at the person who is NOT holding him and ignores the person who is!
@Incognito sorry to hear that, it''s so easy to go down that hole! I'm the same anytime I need to whip my phone out when baby is awake but think it's just that first time mum over anxiousness 🩷 in time I'm sure we'll feel more confident in ourselves and how we're parenting! If baby is super chill and will go to anyone they probably feel super secure and don't have to worry about you not coming back xx
This was me at the weekend after my baby laughed her arse off at various family members and would barely chuckle at me 😅 I think they're just reacting to new stimuli and when they're in environments like that they see us as more of a calming influence than a fun one!
