Separation anxiety 4 months?

When visitors come over now, DD has been crying hysterically when they talk to her or try to hold her! I hope it's b/c it is late and she is tired, b/c I go back to work in a little over a week and she doesn't know the babysitter or my parents too well

It seems early for this?

I think at 4 months she definitely knows and prefers you over a stranger or someone she doesn't see as often. But I dont know if its separation anxiety yet or just out of what she considers her normal routine...DD is 6 months and she definitely does what you described and has been for a few months now.

My dd crys to and prefers me at 3 months. I find in she doesn't see me it helps.

My sister decided when Logan was only a few weeks old if he heard my voice it would make him cry So I was not allowed to speak when she held him!

Seriously though.......yes it can happen already.......but it will go fine.....your DC will get to know the sitter & grandparents & be fine

This too is a phase just like all the others, and it will pass!!!!
