infant scared of grandparents

My 5m+ LO is terrified of grandparents :( will literally cry bloody murder when we visit them. We are currently staying with my in laws but she is okay with them, once a week we will visit my parents side but she keeps crying. Any tips to introduce her to strangers/unfamiliar people:(

It’s fear of strangers which is normal. You have to help your LO feel comfortable by letting her meet new people in a safe and comfortable environment. For example, carry your LO when you introduce him to strangers. She will also feel more comfortable with a stranger if he’s at home. If she gets very upset with a new person, comfort her and try a different approach. Take her comfort item (chou chou, toy or blanket) with you to new situations and when you’re spending time with new people. Take it slowly and patiently.
