I am a parent too!!!

So glad i saw a forum section on parenting!!!
I am a parent of an 8 months beautiful baby named Sophie and have another baby on the way ...!!! (6 weeks pregnant)...
I've had my tough days with baby in months, but now she is on a routine which makes life a lot easier...
One of my biggest hopes is to provide her with a good positive environment and anything i should so she would be a happy person ... this hope at times turns into a worry because when i (COMPARE HER) with other babies, i start to worry because she does not smile easily with strangers and other family members, only few of us.......
Meanwhile other babies, they smile easily even as easily as 3 months.

Some babies just aren't as trusting. You aren't nervous around strangers who try to get her to smile, are you? If you are, she can sense that, so she just won't smile. She'll be able to tell if you tense up while holding her. She'll be able to feel the difference in how you hold her, in your breathing, etc.

Otherwise she just might not WANT to mile at these people. There's nothing wrong with that. I think it's good that she doesn't want to jump into just anyone's arms!

She's normal, so don't worry about her. You have a very healthy baby and I'm sure she's beautiful! Hugs, Lee

I wouldn't worry to much about it. She may just be really shy.

My daughter would scream and cry if my dad even looked at her.. Now she can't wait to see grandad.
But if a stranger talks to her and she not sure she will still cry. She is now 3.

My son never had this issue it more worrying believe me, knowing that your child will make friends with perfects strangers of all ages

Actually, dislike of strangers is pretty normal and adaptive for babies. They are supposed to be differentiating their caregivers from others.

Or maybe she really will turn out to be a suspicious kid. That's not entirely maladaptive either. I agree with the point about modeling behavior though. As she grows, she will learn to follow your lead.
