Baby Getting a Fright?
Hi!
My son is 22 weeks old and for the past few weeks all noises, whether loud or not are frightening him, is this normal?
For example he used to love the hairdryer to put him off to sleep, but now he jumps if i have him in the room when i dry my hair and he screams so much i cant dry my hair, real tears and all! He also gets a fright when i cough, sneeze, when music or the tv goes on. He doesn't cry at them all but he does throw his hands up and look startled for a minute!
As he's my first baby I don't know if this is normal or if i should ask the hv about it?
Any advice?!

She shouts and fake cries, but I carry on and as soon as it's switched off she stops. Doesn't seem scared though - more disgruntled!
I wouldn't stop making the noises as he will have to get used to them, but just give him a big kiss and a cuddle afterwards so he still feels safe x
