This shows him you understand his reaction. Take your child's temperament into account when you introduce her to new people. Some babies are comfortable being handed off to strangers, while others are cautious even around their grandparents. If your child is the timid type, don't thrust her into someone else's arms.
One smart solution: Invite people to visit at your baby's "happy" times of day, when her energy level is high and she's more likely to be in a friendly mood. Your baby isn't ready for playdates, but he'll benefit from being around other kids. One example: At 10 months, Davis was struggling to crawl. It's great to expose your baby to adults too, but don't overwhelm him -- especially in the early weeks.
Invite one or two close friends or family members over, and then gradually broaden his social circle. Make sure you, your spouse, or a familiar caregiver stays in sight at all times so your child feels safe. If you've ever seen a baby stare rapturously at an older sibling, you know: Infants love big kids.
Big sibs provide a constant source of inspiration for milestones like walking , eating, and talking , and their silly sense of humor also appeals to babies. If your infant is a firstborn, then a cousin, neighbor's kid, or family friend may have a similar effect. When Casey Hennigan was 7 months old, she was the youngest member of her daycare group.
That meant she hung out with 1-year-olds every day. When Katie Tam was a baby, her mother, MJ, took her along on errands and made a point of introducing her to the people they met. It's a good idea to start with familiar faces such as neighbors and friends and work up gradually to more challenging situations, like saying "hi" to another customer in the checkout line. Once she starts making eye contact and smiling at strangers, your baby is truly becoming a social being. She's ready for larger gatherings, such as a family party or a church event.
A bonus: The more you enjoy yourself, the better it is for your child, who will learn that it's fun to be around other people. You don't have to leave the house to show your baby how to be outgoing.
When your husband walks through the door, say, "Let's greet Daddy.
