Hi parents in the house.My sister little baby girl of A month and few days doesn't allow anybody to carry her.She always feel uncomfortable and cry when anybody apart from the mother carry her.Worst still is that I don't think she has started even seeing well. What could be the cause of this?
I thought kids start rejecting people as from 6months up when they start seeing well

U need to ''tame'' her. Get closer to her without carrying her away from her mum. She will gradually become familiar with your playing with her even while she is with her mum and starts building trust for u. She will become used to u and allow u to carry her with time. Another method is to force her whether she crys or not. Take her away from her mum. Make sure the mum isnt present. After sometime she will ''respect herself'' and shut up .

What is your reaction when people force themselves on you? You guys should let the baby be with who ever she feels comfortable with.

Don't rush it, she is probably uncomfortable. some newborns still experience internal pain at the navel. so u have to be gentle when carrying her. the phase will pass

even my grandmother sef, she doesn't even allow her to carry her.
but I think it is too early..Not even up to two months old sef.

She already knows the scent of her mom, but she's still little tho.

It is nothing,She will come around...she is still fragile

She's just 1-month old. Newborns recognize their mother's voice right from the womb and when they're born they still do. I'm sure her mother is the one who has been carrying her and speaking with her the most since her arrival, so she's clearly most familiar with her mother than anyone else. As she gets older she'll be more accommodating to others, but this is typical of many newborns and nothing to worry about.

thank you so much.

Please, do you have bobby?

If you do, is it productive and beneficial to the baby in question?

If Not, kindly go and take a back seat. Your niece has no need of you or anybody else right now except her milk factory

All she needs and wants right now is bobby flowing with milk and honey.

my first son was like that as a baby and people complained but I paid them no heed as I didn't want them tensioning my poor kid. besides he played a lot at home and was very free. even though because of his being anti social, we had to enrol him in school early thinking it would help, but my kid still didn't socialise. now, he has a kid brother who is 1+, extremely outgoing and open. do you know that while my first son is still reserved, his younger brother's playfulness is making him come out of his shell gradually? moral of my story, these things are most times innate but situations can equally make them adjust with time so kindly let the kid be.
