Why do babies have a fear of strangers? | Morisons Baby Dreams

Babies often cry around new people because unfamiliar faces can feel overwhelming. In this video Dr. Nihar Parekh shares that if your baby is crying around new people, it’s likely because they’ve hit the stranger anxiety milestone. Baby stranger anxiety usually appears around 6 to 12 months. At this stranger anxiety age, any unfamiliar face can trigger tears as they instinctively seek comfort in their caregivers. This fear of strangers isn’t just shyness - it’s their way of building a strong bond with you through face recognition, learning who feels safe and familiar.
