My daughter was the same way in that she had severe separation anxiety at 4 months. Her doctor was shocked to discover this at her check up appointment. Separation anxiety (the first stages) usually occurs no earlier than 8 months and it is linked to object permanency .... so yet another example of advancement in their brain development.
