sounds like he's been traumatized. could he have watched a toy or something get sucked up? try to let him see you can't get sucked up. put your hand under it or over the hose and show him it's ok. let it just sit in the living room for a few days and don't turn it on. just my two cents. good luck
My son does the same thing its the noise of the vacuum that scares them so much everytime they see one they think there gonna hear that noise. It may take him awhile to get use to the noise know that nothing is going to hurt him.
First of all, all cheldren expand at unique premiums, so do not permit what you learn and whilst folks say their youngsters began doing matters predicament you. My son did not move slowly till he was once nearly eleven months ancient and he is great. Second, the exceptional technique to gain knowledge of whilst to be alarmed by way of your son's growth is to permit his health care professional understand approximately your matters and demand that the drawback be cautiously monitored. Third it is ok to simply permit him cry repeatedly. If you might have picked him up and consoled him each time he cries for you on the grounds that delivery, he has found out that crying is how he will get what he needs. This would additionally maintain him from looking to move slowly or use sounds to converse. As a ways as enamel cross, once more, children expand at unique premiums. My buddy's daughter did not get a enamel till round nine months. I could begin by way of looking to permit him cry it out whilst it is time to fall asleep. It would possibly take every week or 2 to get him out of the dependancy, however with a bit of time and persistence this can also be robust. In the imply time, talk about your matters along with his health care professional and discover out if there motives to feel he could have a developmental extend. Good good fortune and simply be sufferer!
I use to be afraid of them too when I was little. I didn't get over it until I was five when my mom asked me to help vacuum. What scared me was the sound and when my mom would vacuum up part of a rug she would freak out and then the house would smell kind of odd and it made an extra loud noise.
They are scary, the make loud noises they are three times the size of an 8 month old. I would be terrified of something like that to. This is a phase and he will get over it, just vacuum RIGHT when he wakes up before you grab him from his crib. I had to do this for about 4 months with my son. Then my boyfriend vacuumed while he was on my lap a couple times, then he was fine, but you will have to wait till he is older i think. ADDITION: If there are days where your son doesn't nap and it is just the two of you I guess you'll have to skip vacuuming for the day
