No stranger danger

I've noticed from early on that my 1-year-old shows no fear of strangers. I mentioned it to the doctor that I was concerned but he didn't seem to be bothered by it, but I'm getting more and more worked up over this. At daycare they refer to him as the "mayor" because other kids parents would come and pick them up and drop them off and he's walking up to them and smiling at them and reaching his arms out to get picked up. I'm concerned and I'm not sure what I need to do here.

Seems like he’s just outgoing. Definitely make sure people are keeping an eye on him whenever you aren’t. My son is like this too, but he’s a big people person. It might be because he’s in daycare. My son is always around different people so he doesn’t care who’s holding him. He’s also one

That’s hard because you don’t want to discourage his outgoing nature or harm any confidence he is building. I would just stay close and keep an eye on him. As he gets older and can understand, you can teach him more about safety.

My oldest is like that. He’s 3 and is very outgoing. As he gets older it’ll be easier to explain the stranger danger concept.

My LO the same way and her pediatrician told us kids may start to feel “stranger danger” more around 13-16months timeframe so that’s approaching soon so he may start to feel it here soon or continue being a people person, honestly only time will tell, so far I’m not concerned and I just says she’s a happy baby that’s love spread joy son your son maybe same way 🫂

my mom told me babies can sense vibrations of prosper and hence they go to people with positive vibes.. when my baby was about 8 months he would not go to particular people every time and go to few people when they visit out home. but i’m not sure how much is this true
