8 month old having separation anxiety

My baby has a separation anxiety. She'll cry if she doesn't see me around or when i ignore her cos i was doing something. I took care of her all by my self from birth till now. Is this normal?

Yea u have been her safe person and sounds like a good secure attachment. Continue to respond promptly and full of love while baby works out trust with u. Some days are gonna be sticky and bad but remember its worth it. Dont make up stories or lie as it will just make it worse when baby loses trust in u. E.g. Im all touched out i need a toilet break and let husband take over but i just walked away without telling. Oof baby will mistrust and melt down 👎🏻. Hang in there!
