[quote=Anonymous]Your DC is probably just now realizing the new baby is here to stay. There were three things I read on DCUM about new siblings that stuck with me. 1 -- bringing home a sibling is like your DH bringing home a new wife and telling you that you have to love her and be nice to her. 2 -- the baby doesn't care who is holding him/her, just that someone is doing it. Spend your time focusing on the older siblings if you can. 3 -- don't ever complain about the baby in front of your older DCs. "Sorry, Larla, Larlo was up all night so I'm really tired right now." Because they interpret Larlo as being a threat to their mother. I have 3 kids, 2 years apart. I remember for DC #2 and #3, I considered the 2 year olds to be babies when I went into the hospital, but when I came out with this tiny newborn all of a sudden the toddlers seemed like giants to me. I would have to adjust my thinking and keep reminding myself how young the toddlers were.[/quote]
