bond that worries me

[carolb4]

I am an at home mom living with my parents and going to school online fulltime. I have a 9 month old daughter. My mother helps me alot with her care, however, I am clearly her primary caregiver.
For the last month, my daughter crys, sometimes sobs, when she sees my mom and my mom doesn't pick her up. If I am holding her and she sees my mom she will cry.
My mom doesn't encourage this behavior. It does hurt my feelings even though no one is intentionally trying to be hurtful.
Can you all tell me why this might be going on? Is it a stage?
She also does the same thing with my mother-in-law, that she only sees once a week.

If this is a stage, please give me some words of encouragement.

Stage, TOTALLY TOTALLY a stage.

Try posting this Q in the Life with a Babe forum.

If your mom is not encouraging the behavior, which is a very good thing, then I definetly vote stage.

My 17 month old just yesterday cried for "meema" for about 20 minutes, for no apparent reason, other then he didnt feel good. And my 2.5 year old son was favoring Grammy for a while (Which really bugged me) but he outgrew it as well.

totally normal. For your baby, your mom is the other parent, like a father. Think of how babies start to react when the other parent comes into the room.

Yes i have a nine month old and she does that with a friend of mine. No worries at all.

Normal. Really really normal.

Totally NORMAL! I work in a daycare and certain babies will scream and cry and make a fuss if certain workers come in the room without scooping them up and showering them in kisses
