#AskTheExpert my 6.5 months old baby is scared of many things.. darkness, new places, even a new area within the same home, when suddenly someone does peekaboo, when he hears crying sounds of others or imitation of any other different kind of sound, pressure cooker whistle, mixer sound etc. he starts crying badly. Our pead said it's common and will settle as he grows up when he was 3 months old.. but now although he is 6.5 months old his fear hasn't reduced instead has increased. pls suggest what to do.
