First, welcome to YT and congrats on you new baby. You've gotten a lot of good advice already. I just want to also say that with his background, you never know what kind(s) of traumas he has experienced in his life. I would assume (I may be wrong) that a woman may have been his caretaker and if so, could have been really tramautized by her therefore leary of females. Just guessing. We took in a stray cat once and he was petrified of long things such as a roll of gift wrap...tells me that someone must have beat him with a broom handle. Just give him time to settle in and be patient, 2 mos may seem like a long time but if this little one was abused, think of his 2 years with such treatment. Good luck.
