Question
Why does my 5-month-old baby suddenly feel scared of yellow? Yesterday, I bought him a yellow mole-hunter toy, and he started crying while playing with it. Now, he cries whenever he sees any yellow object. What could be the reason for this? What should I do?
Answer
The baby might have been startled by something, which is common at this age and usually improves over time. At this stage, the child might prefer toys like bells. It is suggested to observe the baby’s emotions and be more careful with toy choices in the future. As the child grows older, you can gradually introduce more educational toys.
