The importance of scent and sight of the mother from the baby's perspective. It's not parenting at fault. I believe you are the one that is attending to your baby's needs most of the time, right? The baby "recognise" your presence by scent and sight of you. There's no point scolding your daughter. She's just 10 months old...

As a father of 4, I can -suggest- it's just a phase... some babies go through it when they are younger (~7 mths) while some don't go through it... always remember that all babies are different so don't compare what other babies went through to your own. According to my forum, babies do not understand yet that when you are out of his/her sight, you are still around i.e. they think you have disappeared. They will grow out of this phase, so please tell your hubby not to kick a fuss over who or what is wrong. At this age it might be wise to start discplining though. If she screams when she does not like something, just take the item away and say a firm No. Don't scold like the old-fashioned parent, please, does no good. First 10 times (or fifty) times might not work, but they will get the message that there is a line. Set the line early on and you will have much less headaches later on.

Best of luck with your bundle of joy
