LO super attached

My LO is 11 weeks today and she's a super good baby for the most part. Here lately, I've noticed that when we go to family's houses she gets really fussy. I am a SAHM so it's just me and her until my husband gets home. But she sees her family members often but when I try and drop her off or even just sit and visit she cries until I get her and calm her down, her daddy can't even calm her down when we're away. Some people say she gets fussy cause she's in a different environment and it's usually loud when we're out with our family, there are a lot of us. But it just seems like she wasn't to be with me all the time. Is anyone else experiencing this with their LOs? If so do yall have any ideas on how to break this habbit?

    I experienced this with my first son. He was super clingy to me wouldn't go to anyone else when we went to other people's house not even my husband so just like you said. I did my best to let him cry it out for ten to fifteen (if even that long) minutes but it broke my heart and I felt like people were staring and judging me so I would pick up. Everyone constantly called him a mamas boy. He continued to want me when we would go out but started to be willing to go to my husband as he got older. This lasted til he was 8 months old. It drove me nuts when people called him a mamas boy but he spent all day everyday with me so what should we have expected? Now as I look back I'm glad he clung to me-showed I did something right. So remember that it's showing that she clearly loves her mom and you're doing a great job at being a mom. 
    Best advice just stick out. As she gets older she'll enjoy other family members more even pick them over you. The more you're around them the better she will get with them. The more you get out the better she will do with a different environment.

    My DD is 12 weeks old and started doing this is the past week. She hadn't seen my ILs in 6 days and cried when they came over talking to her last night. DS wasn't wary of others until he got older and would realize that he didn't know "Aunt Kate" or whomever, so this is new for me too. I agree that it just takes time and repetition. Right now it may help for you to be the only one holding her for a few minutes and for others to let her calm down and adjust before coming over to y'all. Easing into new surroundings with new people can really help.
