I don't believe that putting her in the room with you will increase seperation anxiety. We did what was best for OUR family, he slept, we slept and we built a routine. Play inside/outside from about 6 p.m. until 9:30(on and off of course) with potty breaks and feeding time. Then about 9:30 he settles down into my lap or his own dog bed which is in the same room we are. 10 p.m. all dogs go out to do their business and when we come in he goes straight to his crate and gets in it. Now I do not crate him when I leave the house. I have a very large masterbathroom that I put a puppy safe gate in the doorway of. I move his bed, food/water, toys, potty box etc into the bathroom and put the gate up. He does not cry when this is done and he also does not cry in his crate at night. I work out of the house and have for the past 12 years so all my dogs are around me 24 a day except for weekends when grocery shopping or errands need to be done. We have three dogs and none of them have seperation anxiety and this is how all three of them were brought up. All dogs are different and what works for one household might not work for another. I wish much luck in whatever you try, for you and your baby girl.
