Baby Fears are Normal. Infact they are a good sign bcoz it means your little one is becoming more aware of her world and trying to make a sense of it. Young babies get upset when a parent leaves the room because they don't yet have ""object permanence". Object permanence develops around 8-10 months & it means your child realizes that when something disappears it still exists. Once object permanence develops, If you leave the room, your baby will just wonder when you're coming back and not think you've disappeared forever.
Next is stranger anxiety. This is also a good sign as it means the baby is beginning to recognize the difference between familiar & unfamiliar.
Then there's separation anxiety, which peaks around 6-8 months. Playing peek-a-boo can help, it teaches a child that you are not going to disappear even if child can't see your face.
My Baby also becomes scared of dark room , some noises but then I spoke to the pediatrician about this & he explained nicely.. Regardless of your baby's age, he/ she just needs to know that you're there to protect them. Say something like, it's okay mumma is here..Also if u know that something scary is about to happen, give ur child a some warning. Say I am going to turn on the blender. I know it's loud and it might scare you - but don't worry you're okay. I Hope this post of mine would be helpful to you. If yes then do like comment & share .
