11 months baby not searching for mom?

Question

How will a 11 months baby react when her mom is not around? Will she cry or search her mom when her mom has gone outside? My 11 months baby is not at all searching me whenever she wakes up in the morning. When her granny takes care of her for the whole day, she is not at all needing me. She wakes up, her granny gives bottle milk, then gives her breakfast, baths her and makes her sleep. But my baby is not even crying or showing some sadness in her face if i am not around. When i return home after 4 or 5 hours, she just looks at me n continue playing(not coming near me with some happiness and she is not needing my hug or kiss). Will all the babies be like her? Or is she different? It really hurts me. I'm a house wife n i'm always with her, caring for her. But when i'm not near her even for a whole day, she is not at all bothered about it. Plz reply.

Answer 1

maybe you have made her feel secure enough that you will always be there that she doesn't need to get upset when you aren't around, she just knows that you will be back

Answer 2

obviously she wont need you..!!

because babies do not love their mothers by default.its her granny whoz feeding her, giving her breakfast,bottle etc. then why would she need you? if her granny is missing surely she would cry not because u were missing.

i would advise you to do all the work as a mother, because the baby's love towards you will slowly diminish day by day. and later it would be very difficult for you to manage her on your own.

i had a similar experience, i delivered my son when i was in my final year of college, and i had kept a caretaker to take care of him when i was away.i found that the caretaker did not allow me to do any work for my baby, and even my son was attached to her a lot. when people came home i would be too embarassed as my son would refuse to come to me and stay with her.now that ive completed m degree i decided not to study/work after this. my baby's love was the most important thing for me.i take care of him full time and he loves to be with me.:)

Answer 3

you should be proud of her she sounds very confident knowing that you will come home and she dosent have to worry you must be a good mother  

Answer 4

I have a 16 month old daughter, and honestly the only time that she started showing concern with looking for me was when she was a newborn, and for about the first 2 months of her life, then she stoped searching for me, then when she turned 1 year old she started looking for me again, and crying when i would leave.  

Answer 5

Some kids have very independent personalities.  I wouldn't worry about it.  I know it's sad sometimes, and not all babies are like that.  Some are very clingy with their moms and others could careless.  My first son is the exact same way.

Answer 6

you seem to have raised a confient self assured little baby so far ;)
