Violet, my daughter has always hated people being "in her bubble". She did not want me cuddling her, unless she chose for me to. She only wanted contact at the end of the day and when she felt bad...other than that is was dressing adn changing and bathing only. She is still that way. If someone gets too close, she will stretch out her arm and say, my bubble is out here adn you need to step back please."
It makes her very uncomfortable, but she was that way as an infant. I could feed her adn change her, then she wanted me to put her donw and move away. I could watch her, but not snuggle or cuddle her. It is just part of who she is. GL...
