Is it normal for my 20 month old to randomly start having bad separation anxiety? She won’t let me put her down and she has to be right next to me. She doesn’t do it all the time just if she notices I’m not around her

Totally normal, at least it's happening now & not when it's inconvenient ... like when she starts school. My daughter was like that my last few weeks of my pregnancy

@krisfreeman, it’s so frustrating because I’m trying to start dinner for tonight and trying to make breakfast and she can still see me but she’s upset I’m not next to her

@courtney017 I DEFINITELY understand ! I don't know if you REALLY want my advice on this lol I'm a very strict parent and can tune out unnecessary crying/whining

Yes they get that way sometimes before they are even one years old it just means in baby talk she loves you and she doesn't have anyone else to just hold on too and not let go. It's a trust thing with babies they have to learn and that is one of the way they learn.
