[quote=Anonymous]OP - sorry if my first post wasn't clear. This is completely about safety. My 3 year old toddler squeezes her arm around my infant's neck to "hug" her. The infant generally starts crying and obviously does not like being constrained in this way and unless an adult steps in to move the toddler, she will not let go of the baby. When I try to feed the baby, the toddler tries to crawl on my lap as well and "hug" the baby's head while she is trying to eat, stopping her from eating, poking or grabbing her eyes, and/or pulling backwards on her head and neck away from my breast. Again, the baby starts crying, and it's hard for me to remove the toddler while also trying to feed the baby. So the need to hold a boundary that my toddler cannot pull on the baby's head and neck in a dangerous way is something that I'm not questioning. If anyone has tips on how to best redirect my toddler to other activities than tackling her baby sister, I would love advice. [/quote]
