At the age of eight months, an infant who has in the past without complaint allowed anyone to pick her up begins to distinguish her mother from other individuals. When picked up by another the infant usually cries, acts frightened, and, in general, looks unhappy. The infant recognize her mother from other individual, this is one of the milestone of infant's development.
Usually around the age of one year, the infant starts to become fearful upon separation from her mother. The child may respond with crying, fear and anger when he realize that her mother is away or walks out of the room or leaves the baby with a sitter. Although the response is normal and usually subsides within 3 to 4 months, parents should learn to leave the child in the hands of a sitter, and walk out without guilt or anger. The child must learn that separations are temporary and that parents do return.
