I would add to lydiaES above that an elastic band holding the left stick up and to the left (North East?) on the Chapter 2 part 2 spawn point is useful. I finished the game having only been eaten a couple of times so doing this meant I could walk away for the 7 minutes or so it takes.

For some reason this is stuck at 95% for me, anyone know how to fix?

Unless you check the achievement list beforehand, it's unlikely that you'll unlock this during a normal playthrough, as you're constantly trying to avoid being eaten by the whale monster to advance in the story. After completing the game, I noticed that there are multiple chapters in the early part of the game that place you near the whale monster.
A really efficient one is the final part of Chapter 2, Dangerous Water.
You start on the rooftop of an almost completely submerged building. Directly in front of you, you'll see 2 rectangular vents. Simply run forward and a bit to the right, to fall off an overhang and into the water - the nearby monster will immediately come after you, and chomp you up. Repeat this process until you unlock the achievement. I found that each death took approximately 17-22 seconds (that being from the time you get control of Kay, to the time you get control of her again after respawning), so getting a total of 20 can be done very quickly.
As a bonus, this checkpoint can also be used to advance 2 additional cumulative achievements:

While playing through the story, you will come across several locations which are shrouded in darkness. These locations have a whale swimming around that can eat you if you swim close to it. This trophy will unlock after you have been eaten for the 20th time by the whale. If you don't have this trophy by the time you finish the story, you can use chapter select to farm deaths.
