Even her Nana, who watches her on occation, makes Quinn cry histaricaly. She only wants to be held by either me (preferablly me) or my hubby (in a pinch). I'd like to break her of this but not sure how, or if it's even normal and I shouldn't worry.

There's nothing in "What To Expect The First Year" about this situation and if anyone can recommend a good book that explains month-by-month the problems that might come up and ways to fix them please tell me about it.

Thanks
Same thing happened with my neighbor's daughter. If it is avoided at an earlier age, it is easier to break the habbit. Here's what my neighbors did. In the evening, with the mom and dad were still there, My mom and Dad would simpily hold the little girl no matter how much she cried. The mom would comfort her while my mom or dad was holding the baby. As she got used to my parents and me, then they extended the circle of doing this. When friends of theirs would come over others would hold her with breaks from mommy holding her... Hope this makes since and helps!! Now she's about 2 or 3, she's more comfortable around other people, and she still prefers to be with mommy, and is still a mommy and daddy's little girl!
