Why Does My Baby Always Stare at Me
Why does my baby stare at me?
(29 Posts)
Perhaps a empty-headed question but MNers aren't judgemental so hither I am asking it. My DS1 volition sit down and stare at me for what seems like ages on end. When DH holds him, he turns his head to stare at me, and he is now in his bouncer, staring at me. he volition sometimes pause the stare with a grin when I talk to him just other than that, information technology's more than staring. I idea information technology might be boredom simply I make certain I do plenty with him during the mean solar day, without overstimulating him. Does he not know who I am, or does he non like me 
. Near of all, is it normal?
He'south learning, he's examining your face and looking at how your face changes. Information technology's normal, part of his bonding process with you. He's getting to know you aswell 
Talk to him, grinning, this is how they learn. Honest!
He is fascinated past your beauty
(This is normal. Some people accept been known to exist freaked out by information technology!)
He recognises you lot. You are about the only thing he does recognise. He feels prophylactic when you are in that location and when he can run across you. He has bonded! A expert thing! Feel gratuitous to conversation to him similar he was any age.
You lot could buy a book like "What to Expect The First Year", it explains what is happening to him on a calendar month past month growth basis (what he can hear, what he tin see etc) and can be interesting to sympathize where he is on a development basis. Its a rough guide and shouldn't accept information technology too literally though. There might be improve ones out there, my one is ancient and a fleck American.
Because he luuuurves yous!
I liked that what to expect book as well frumpy. Gives a range of ideas for things rather than just prescribing one method as per certain other people nosotros don't mention 
because you are the most beautiful thing he has ever seen and he's learning your face off by heart
Awww, it's considering y'all are the centre of his piffling earth!!
Thank god for that. Thank yous ladies, I feel much better now.
Frumpy, I do have the book "your baby week by week" just information technology doesn't cover every dumb arse question I have
Definitely because he LOVES YOU!
I would agree-he is learning to differentiate faces and loves you!
My girl once stared so hard at a man on a train when she was a few months old that he got upwardly and moved seat.
And yes, he's doing information technology considering he loves yous and considering faces are the most interesting thing he can encounter and because he wants to learn everything near everything. He'south merely starting with faces.
I'm liking these answers; making me all smiley. You know, I detest my MiL even more now than usual. She saw DS staring at me last calendar week and I asked why he could be doing information technology and she said sod all, notwithstanding information technology sounds like an experienced mum would know. If it wasn't for her, I probably wouldn't be so insecure and request the question in the outset identify. Spiteful bitch. Distressing, for going OT merely she makes me 
I noticed in my op that I said DS1, I meant DS. Only have the ane baby
I'm guessing perchance your MIL never really idea virtually information technology or wondered what was going on when her baby or babies were small. My MIL is quite clearly a very loving and kind mother (she thinks her children are absolutely perfect in every way) merely she has some kind of peculiar thought that little babies don't actually have thoughts or feelings, which led to some weird discussions when my daughter was tiny. I suspect when hers were small she never fifty-fifty wondered what they were thinking about etc because she just thought they couldn't.
ROFL @ MIL.
Unless there are other issues (which there may well be) don't be too hard on her - my own mother claims not to be able to recall anything at all virtually birth/feeding/weaning or anything on the footing that it was 30 years ago. Which is fair enough I suppose, merely how can anyone seriously non recollect if they BF?!!!
Bella, in that location are issues ample, at that place is a whole thread on information technology
Aha. In that case train the babe to stare pointedly at your MIL every time she says something ludicrous
DD has a wonderful pout that she dishes out to certain people in between long stares! We telephone call information technology the Paddington Bear Stare.
Babies love to stare at things, and their Mummy is the center of their little world, and then they will stare at you lot all day if they tin can.
But having said that, given half the hazard I would probably stare at DD all day also, she'southward and so scrummy, and I bet your DS is the aforementioned!
And MN is here for all/whatsoever "impaired arse" questions <<fg peels up shirt to show DUMBARSE tattoo on tum>>
Considering y'all are juggling with flaming torches?
Because you are juggling with flaming torches?
HarryB This thread has made me go all warm and fuzzy .
Oh, to have a babe stare at my face all day! (not a half-dozen year old stare at my bum and say "mummy, you have a large bum")
Seriously, how onetime is DS1? Is he of smiling age yet ?
The reason I inquire is that DS1 was much less of a smiler, more than of an observer, so the staring seemed quite intense (anybody used to say what a "serious" baby he was), whereas DS2, at the same age, was all jazz-hands, big smile "detect me"
BTW Harry loving that MNers aren't judgemental - accept you tried an AIBU thread nevertheless?
Oh no Bella, not ventured to the AIBU thread. I'm as well frightened.
Screamingabdab, DS is 14 weeks. He is grinning and chuckling, apparently not 24/7 (that's some other dumb question I asked my friend, who said "bless, when they offset smile, doesn't mean all day long").
The staring can be quite intense, like he's reading my thoughts, but if it'due south because he loves me then he tin stare away.
