Is 3.5 too young for stranger anxiety

[Kmxxx14]

My daughter is 3.5 months. I've posted about her before that she's very quiet. She's a great baby in terms of she's calm and contented the majority of the time.

The thing is over the last week I've had 3 instances with her where she will sob uncontrollably. This has never happened before now. On these 3 instances it has been someone "strange" to her that was holding her. Is this coincidence or is she upset that it's not Mum or dad holding her? Does she even know the difference at this age?

I'm not sure if it may be her personality and whether she may be a quiet/shy child in general or whether this is coincidence but her general quietness has made me question this.

My daughter only wanted me from a very young age, would cry for me if others held her and continued to be so attached to me throughout her baby/toddler stages I had plenty of 'helpful' comments regarding her 'not being able to go to school if I don't make her more independent' etc.... out of my 4 she went to school with minimal fuss and became 'quietly confident ' and still is as an adult , try to go with the flow, let her just have you and she will have the confidence to detach in time ... ignore people who say your baby needs to be more 'Independent ' She is behaving naturally

Your daughter can smell the difference. A baby can recognize the voice and smell of it's mother at birth.
