16 month old temperament

Hi all

My baby girl is 16 months old. She has ALWAYS hated being around people she doesn't know. She cries and goes quiet.

She is 1 month premature and I always have been a bit cautious especially when she was born initially. She also only slept in my arms for the first 4 months.
I also hate babies crying so I didn't like her being passed around if she was crying for me.

I try to expose her to people as much as possible and she loves nursery but just hates being around others.

She is VERY strong minded and independent which I love but I'm also a bit worried. The nursery has also picked up on the fact she doesn't like to play with other kids.

Sounds normal to me. She'll grow out of it when she gets used to being around other people and away from you a bit more
