Everyone goes through a lot of different phases in life. So why should baby be any different. One day everything is normal, and suddenly the next day, baby doesnt like something that he was used to or liked before.
The first time this happened with Vihaan was when we stepped inside a mall and he started bawling loudly. Now it was strange because usually he would love the noise and the lights and the sounds in the mall. He loved looking at the other babies and interacting with them. So we thought that maybe it wasnt a good time and left the mall immediately. The same thing happened next time we went to a mall (after around a week or two). We beat a hasty retreat within 5 minutes of entering the mall :P So afterwards we thought that it would be best to avoid malls for a while. We went back after almost a month, and voila!! he didnt cry anymore :D
At 4-5 months, most babies do not have any mobility. The most they can do is turn over on their stomach. So they seek movement in the only way they know how, they cry to be picked up. I used to pick up V alot. I was always admonished by the "elders" saying that he will get to used to being carried around. But then, how can u deny that angel face and the toothless smile? Now at 9 months, V does not like to be picked up. He wants to explore everything on his own (he can now crawl). He prefers walking to being held :) Guess the picking up was a phase too.
Most recently, V had started crying on hearing other babies cry or on hearing some loud sounds. It was a huge problem, because there were children everywhere we went. Thankfully, now he has gotten over some part of this phase.
So if your baby suddenly shows some change in his routine, of dislikes what he used to like before.. relax, its just a phase!! And it will be over before you know it :)
