  good question.  Personally, my dogs are FINE and they both sleep in the bed with me.  Some nights they sleep in their crates, it just depends on how active they've been that day and if they'll go to bed that night with me.  But I crate trained my guys and have NEVER had an anxiety problem b/c of that.  They know that when I leave, I leave, and I WILL come back for them.  I would try crate training your baby while you're gone and leave a special treat and toy that they ONLY get in the crate.  Hope that helps!
