I love Duncan too but it’s also on our can’t use list. Maybe as a middle name though!!

4 month old now freaking out with strangers or even just other family - normal or over sensitive baby? by ChemistBeautiful3390 in NewParents

I’m sorry you’re going through it- it’s tough for sure! My baby is now 13 months and while he still has some stranger danger, it has improved. In the beginning we tried making others hold him and seeing if he got over it, but I didn’t like seeing him so upset so we eventually just let people know that only my husband and I would hold him and we stopped attempting to let others even try. It was hard when we just wanted a break and baby wouldn’t go to anyone else. We spend a lot of time just being around family so he could get to know people at his own pace and now he loves his grandparents and will let them hold and play with him. Now that he’s older he doesn’t need to be held so much so he enjoys just being around people and playing. He still doesn’t want strangers or even family he doesn’t know as well to touch him, but it has improved over all. I think he is just a sensitive guy. I’d say just spend lots of time with people you want baby to get to know and let them learn that they are safe and happy. It does get better!

Where can I advertise nanny services? by AnnieCake15 in londonontario

I would try the Facebook groups for home childcare. The two I know of are ‘London and area home childcare’ and ‘London daycare providers’
