I was careful not to let everyone hold our daughter, but never restricted my folks. My Mom held her and sometimes fed her when we were over-- which was often since they live next door and I had to get out of the house for a change of scenery with my screaming-most-of-the-time seven month old that HAD to be held ALL the time and weighed 17#. Well, by 3-4 wks she wouldn't let anyone (grandparents or otherwise) lay a hand on her without screaming. She certainly wouldn't eat for anyone by DH or myself. It took her a LONG time (4-5mos) to start letting Grandma feed her again. Today at 18mos she is very attached to us and LOVES her Grandparents. At the mention of them she starts going for the door and pointing up the driveway
