I’ve noticed my 12.5mth son has developed anxiety whenever he hears other babies. I don’t think the problem is actually seeing them – he’s fine when we’re out in public and sees lots of babies/kids at the children’s library and playgrounds. It’s when babies/kids make actual noises and sounds that seems to distress him.
Just today we were at a restaurant and he was totally fine, then we heard a baby cry out and that got him all distressed so I had to take him for a walk outside just to calm him down. Then later on we were walking in the plaza, and some kids were running along making a bit of a racket and that caused him to suddenly start crying.
He’s totally fine around adults and with all other day to day noises, it seems only babies noises/babbling affect him.
I have also recently started to meet other mums and their babies and was hoping to join more playgroups, but it doesn’t seems possible to continue as I can only calm him down by removing him from the situation.
Has anyone experienced this with their baby? What did you do? Any advice would be much appreciated.
