i have a 10 month old and she is a mamas girl. When daddy comes home from work it's all mama. She cries when I leave the room. When my husband family is over she whines and cries for me. I feel bad because most of the time they come to see her and she's stuck to my leg. At times I can't cook dinner or even pee without her freaking out. Most of the time it's worse when she is teething or tired. I want us to be close obviously but is this normal or healthy for her.
Help!

It's actually extremely normal and healthy. All normally developing babies tend to go through a stage like this. It varies in length & intensity.
Just be there for her. Don't try to force her to be friendly. She's figuring out a ton about other people and you are her rock right now. It really doesn't last all that long. If you try to force her to be independent it makes things worse.
My youngest hit this phase a little after his 1st birthday and now at 17 months he's been over it for awhile. Now he tells everyone we meet "hello" and when I leave he blows me a kiss and says "buh-bye"

I think that's pretty normal for that age.
My son never did quite what you're saying, but he did sometimes get scared if someone held him other than me or my parents.
Now my son will act nervous, and then a few minutes later he's best friends with the person.
I agree with the pp that it's important not to force it and it's really not an important thing to make her become friendly with other adults, since she'll grow out of her fear, almost undoubtedly.

That's sounds normal for a mamas baby but ( and this might sound bad and hard) you have to used to other ppl including your dh. When she cries do you. Auto run to her or do you let them try to make her happy first?
