What should i do for my 7-month-old who cries whenever someone else holds him?

Be happy!: You should be happy and proud that your baby is preferring you at this age. Prior to about 6 months, babies will usually go to anyone. But in the second part of that first year, they develop that special bond with you. It's usually with mom first, then with dad or other primary caretakers. He just showing the world he knows you are special. This stage will pass, so enjoy it while you can!

Accept the moment: Most infants will begin to show preference for their primary caregiver/s between 6-9 mo as well as crying when you leave the room.It is a normal developmental stage & an early sign of a normal thinking ability. As frustrating as it may be it does not mean anything bad.It will continue to some degree until well into the 2nd yr or longer.

Know it's normal: Typically developing infants begin to know strangers vs. Non-strangers in the 5th month, when they develop "implicit memory, " this leads to stranger anxiety in the 6th-8th month.Since it's a normal developmental milestone, explain it to those who want to hold him. When he develops separation anxiety at 9-10 months, rejoice that he can hold a mental image of you in his head when you're not there.
