I am just wondering how many of you have or had babies that were overly attached to you?

I ask this because my niece who is 5 months old is super attached to her mother. If her mom is holding her and you even think of touching to her (holding her hand, or foot or something) she starts screaming. It is annoying most of the time. She also doesn't let anyone hold her. If she does, it lasts for all of about 2 minutes and then she pouts her lip and starts crying. She doesn't even give my mom or my husband 2 minutes. Its like the second they get her. Her dad can hold her for a while but if she gets upset then watch out! She is somewhat tolerant of me, but I think that it is just because I don't care if she screams, I try to distract her so she is comfortable with me holding her. This past weekend, I actually held her through most of church service and she just played with her toy. That was the longest I was able to hold her.

So is this normal??? Other babies I have been around could care less who holds them. I know all babies are different, but I am just curious how many of you had babies that did this. Do they grow out of it? When?

Thanks
