4 month old screams her head off...

When she sees my aunt (her care taker when we go out or I have to work). I hate it, and I feel bad for my aunt. She's helping us out and who wants to be with a screaming baby all night? I'm ready to give in and just stay home. (im only working 1 night a week to get out and make some extra $) Any suggestions on how to make DD more comfortable with my aunt? I keep having her come over so she can spend time with her while in here....not going so well!

Re: 4 month old screams her head off...

my 6 months old baby started having stranger anxiety or maybe separation anxiety at 4 months also. What I did was let she warm up to the person first (by given that person's hand to my DD to hold, have that person make her laugh, etc). This is all done while I'm still holding her so she feels comforted while getting to know the person.
Does your aunt see her only once a week? Maybe your LO will be better with your aunt if you let them see each other more often so she's not so shocked.......hope this helps!
