Separation/stranger anxiety

My 7 month old is currently facing separation/stranger anxiety!! Now she can’t see me walk away or she can’t be passed to stranger eventho she has been gg to ifc since 4 month old. She wasn’t like this back then. Recently the teachers feedback that she’s rather cranky at sch cause she doesnt want unfamiliar faces around. Is this normal? Is this a phase?

Oh my, my little one went through exactly the same phase around 7 months old! It’s totally normal separation and stranger anxiety, even if they’ve been in childcare since 4 months. Babies’ brains develop fast at this age, they suddenly understand “mom can leave”, which triggers the fussiness. It is temporary, though it can feel tough right now. My baby also got upset with new people and hated me stepping away for even a minute. It makes sense she gets fussy at school. Be patient, this developmental stage will fade in a few months. You’re doing great!
