...separation anxiety ? (hers, not mine) Like, when does it get worse from now on?
At this point she doesn't show it that much, during the day she'll sometimes disapear from my sight, she crawls in her room and start playing all byherself! :)
If we're with other people she doesn't cry if she's not in my arms and actually sometimes wants other people to hold her.
She usually gets "clingy" when she's tired. At night only a few times she's cried because I put her in her crib. And also very seldomly will wake up in the middle of the night and cry.

Not all children have seperation anxiety...but it usually peaks between 12 and 18 months. Out of my 3 girls only one had any kind of seperation anxiety and she is now 2 1/2 and just finally starting to get over it.

10 months is still young - mine didn't really develop fear of strangers or separation anxiety until about 1 year old. If you are concerned about it getting worse, take her to the park and the store and other public places now (while she's not afraid) where she'll get to meet and see a lot of people. Leave her with a friend or family member for a hour or so at a time. It might help her be less afraid of other people and being without you in the long run.

I'm not a doctor but it just sounds like her personility is shining through. She's a people person and loves her sleep. My little girl is only 5 months and at 4 months she started screaming when other people held her...she is now starting to open up to the idea of others holding her...and since about 2 months of age has been sleeping from 7pm to 7am and not crying at night. Count yourslef lucky siunds like you have a happy and content baby who doesn't need a ton of attention and isn't super needy!

I have an 12 month old and she is the same way. The lack of anxiety in our children reflects how happy and secure they are. Are you a stay at home parent? My husband is and I think that's why my baby is so secure. We have never left her with strangers and one of us is always with her.

Maybe it won't get bad for your baby...every child has their own personality, and if she feels very secure in herself and your love for her, she may not experience it badly at all. If she has a "lovie" such as a fave binky or blankie, then this may lessen it even more, since this would be her security object when you are not available...
