anytime I go out alone I get called back by whoever is babysitting (ex. dh, mil,sil, babysitter) that my baby won't stop screaming! advice please- am I stuck home until she reaches school age??

How often do you go out? How long does she scream for? If she screams the whole time, just take her with you. It's a pain but I take my baby pretty much everywhere except funerals. Or I go when DH is home.

I don't go out often at all but sometimes it's nice to get out a bit- or even to do food shopping or things easier when alone. she pretty much screams the whole time- even with dh. I'm really nervous about having to start work soon...

Do they all know all the little tricks to make him happy? My ds was a very difficult baby. But he did tolerate being taken care of by others as long as they knew exactly how to hold him, rock him, give the pacifier, hold the bottle, put him down, change his diaper, etc. He might just be upset that they are doing everything all wrong. And don't worry, before you know it this stage will pass.
