SprD: Managed to find some topics on shy babies on baby center. Below is an Q and A excerpt... Sorry other mummies for spamming!
There are more topics in this link
http://www.babycenter.com/400_how-can-i-help-my-shy-baby_500101_1000.bc
<font color="0000ff">How can I help my shy baby?</font>
<font color="ff0000">My son is 9 months old and displays signs of shyness. He buries his head when anyone he doesn't see regularly talks to him. I was painfully shy as a child and I don't want my son to go through what I did. What can I do to help him? Is shyness hereditary?</font>

1)I think a lot of people just assume a baby is shy when they exhibit the classic shyness signs, but in reality I don't think babies can be shy. They may be going thru different stages (stranger awareness, etc.) or they may not be in a social mood (like adults can be). My daughter was labeled shy by almost everyone who met her as a baby and I think she has taken on that role. I tell people who first meet her and say oh, she is so shy- that no, she isn't she just needs alittle warming up time. She is a slow to adjust person so she really does need that 1/2 hour to check out the situation and get comfortable. We as a society put too much pressure on children to be "performers" and that includes being very extroverted all the time (when they may not turn out to be). My advice- treat your child like an individual and respect her personality- even if that includes not being social all the time.
2) That's totally normal behavior for a 9 month old. To help him though, you can interact with the person while he sits on your lap. He might start to realize that it's a fun person. But don't force him to go to someone he doesn't want to.
3) My now 5 year old would not go to anyone other than her Daddy or me - this continued for years. We now have an 11 month old and are trying to make sure that doesn't happen again. We try to keep our youngest exposed to many different people (all people that we know and trust). Shyness isn't a horrible thing, but at the same time you need to be able to have your children around others. Play groups, nursery at church, and story times at libraries are great places to help in the socialization of your children. Good luck to all of you out there (including myself!) as we strive to find this balance!

Hey Kate…
THANKS for extracting & posting the write-up on shy babies….really appreciate.
Ok ok….next time I’ll tell people my boy is ‘slow to warm up’….NOT SHY.
Actually I try to bring him to gatherings & trial classes to let him interact with people & socialise….but seems that he have not get the hang of it…still cry or hide his head on our shoulders when we are amongst the people….for instance, during the recent GUG trial class…he was crying for the beginning half…but later became more at ease at the 2nd half…well, the write-up is very true that he needs more time to ‘warm up’ and adjust.
Oh ya…what’s your plans for Lele’s birthday party?
Blueroti
Where you ordered the cake from? Ecreative? When is the party? You designed the cake yourself?
Kelley
hmmm...babies are strange creatures...if they are in the mood, they can sleep in watever condition...

SprD: Glad you found the info useful. I totally agree w the article saying that if we "brand" our child as shy and keep on "stereotyping" him, he will start to believe it and behave "shyly".
Another thing which struck a chord was parents' role in this. Seems that shy parents' children have higher tendency to behave shyly...
Even tho we cannot and should not force our shy child into interacting/socialisng, we can always show him how fun and harmless it is to interact. If our Jonas see from your example that interacting is nothing out of the ordinary, he will definitely warm up, at his own pace tho!
Besides, friendly or not is quite hard to define. I have a friend's DD who is 2 and can play and interact w anyone, but will not let ANYONE beside parents and her grandmother to carry. Dreamygal's little Glynnis too. Friendly or shy? Hard to say if you ask me!
OMG! I'm so LORSOR...

CoolD: My hub neba say I'm GETTING naggy but then I think I have always been the talkative type la. I myself feel that when it comes to baby stuff I have tendency towards nagging. I try not to lor, cos hub will get pissed when I nag too much about baby stuff. Think it's ego.p
Kate,
Thanks for the info about cow's milk. Think I'll only give cows milk with the cereal, not anything else.
Disney,
Ya i heard the gym at Great World is good too. My ex-col was highly recommending that and the one at Shell House. But bbO is always home alone with the maid, hb and I are working in the day. Do they open on weekends? I dun mind taking him there on weekends =) any trial class?
So envious of you mummies who can capture shots of your bb smiling and posing for the camera. If only my Little Worm will cooperate and not make photo taking sessions a chore...

eh no, didn't design the cake - not so artistic! haha anyway, i ordered the cake from room for dessert - http://www.roomfordessert.com.sg/
they have this 2D cake with the animal farm theme. you can chk it out if you click on the "novelty cakes" banner. it's the 1st cake from the left - there's a pig, cow and duck playing some musical instruments. mine is only with the animals coz they don't have time to do a more elaborate design for me.

You take care. Must replenish your fluids!
Aiyo, that glass cabinet is really a time bomb. Otherwise, consider keeping it away until she’s older.
Sometimes I feel like I’m mad or something coz I can explode suddenly one. I am also very impatient and short tempered. But I’ve changed a lot since I’ve got bb leh. My mum say is my retribution for treating her bad.
Sanrio
No no. The maid you saw at my place is my current one lor. Quite good. Got her before I gave birth. The previous one is very ‘sexy’ one. I just remembered that one hor, wore my high boots I bought from HK to take photo ok. Only knew when I saw her photographs when I search her luggage. So guess who took those photos for her?
I don’t look fierce meh? Haha, that’s why I say looks are deceiving. I told hb, I can be gentle or violent. He choose which side of me he wants and just don’t irritate me lor. Btw, I used to go about on a scrambler. Many don’t believe.
BbC so cute! How to be angry with her? BbG very naughty leh. Most of the time I just swallow it down only.
Dlim
Ya lor, after slapping her so hard, I heart pain also. But then the glass broke mah. So I was quite upset.
Springdance
Sometimes I really feel like dumping bb at home so that I can have some ‘myself’ time. But then the thought of her alone at home with maid, aiya, think better not take risks. Then when I’m out, I secretly wish I don’t have to carry her and lugging a huge bag or feed her or change her diaper. I wish to be alone sometimes! That’s why although it’s stressful to work but then at least have time for a decent lunch lor. I always swallow my food down.

Hello Mummies,
I sent my maid back to agency today.
I have a question...
Keep seeing BABY OATS at NTUC. Wondering if it's meant for baby or it's just saying that the oat is "young". haha. Quite stupid of me to ask, but I really don't know!
Please help... thinking of giving oats to J, if that's the right one.

the baby oats - is it packed in a clear bag with green and white wordings? can't remember the brand but think it's baby oats, not for babies. i used to buy raw oats fr ntuc's health food section, vaguely remember seeing some baby oats stuff.
why don't you get healthy times oatmeal baby cereal? see this link - http://www.healthytimes.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=13

Hey Beyond,
thanks! my hubby likely need to work late.. so my best bet is for baby to sleep early and I'll sleep with him.
Been running around today trying to finish all impt stuff/ errands cos my cousin told me she took one week to 'recover' from her lasik- cldn't drive cos she was not used to such perfect eyesight. And the doc over-corrected for her cos told her ur eyesight will deteriorate over time so might as well over-correct now so that dun need to do another op in future or wear glasses after some time.
Hey Sanrio,
wow! $800 per mth not cheap for full-day CC.. I better start looking around for a good one around my area. BTW, I called your PT maid and the lady who answered says I called wrong number??
Ya lah, i kind of expect that when bbJ is alittle older also more challenging for my parents. But it warms my heart to see him bond so well with his 'por-por', his 'kong-kong', his 2 Ah- yees and his cousin, Jie-Jie H. If I'm SAHM, I prob won't go to my parents so often and he won't hv opportunity to spend so much time there. And my mum told me that when bbJ is not there, the house is so quiet.
Mrs Lai,
