[quote=Anonymous]My 19 month old is having a rough time adjusting to his 1 month old baby brother and it's breaking my heart and causing a lot of frustration. DS#2 wants to be held/nurse constantly so I have been wearing him during the day. DS#1 gets upset and tries to push him out of the way so he can snuggle, he's been drinking the breastmilk out of his brothers bottles the moment I set the bottle down, and generally acting out and crying much more often. He had some words before but now all he does is cry mama all the time and grunt/cry for everything. Pediatrician said it was classic regression due to the new sibling. I've been asking my toddler to "help" with the baby, offering extra cuddles, and we still do bedtime and naptime routines with lots of rocking and singing and reading without the baby present. I've tried to maintain our routine but some things have changed- like now relying on Sesame Street in the morning for 30 minutes to pump whereas before we were strictly no TV. Not sure what else I can do at this point. Any advice is appreciated. [/quote]
