Hey mama, it’s perfectly normal. This could be signs of a secure attachment forming and it’s possible for baby to form this with more than one person. From personal experience, babies form attachments with individuals who respond to their cries and basic needs the quickest.

Just as we may not be so quick to open up to a new acquaintance, it’s the same with babies :)
Read moreI think it's normal. That's how my girl reacted too. So what my husband & I did was, everytime we go to my parents or in-laws house, we tell them to not disturb her first. Let her go in, venture the place, play on her own and eventually she will start to play with them. Then they can carry her. The same for relatives too. Surprisingly it works!
Read moreHi Mum, Yes this is normal as babies develop sense of attachment most with the person who are with them most and take care of them most. This gets better with time
