[quote=Anonymous]I worried a lot about jealousy as im an only child and my oldest never asked for a sibling. They are 3.5 and 7 now. I involved the older one early on. She could touch snd lids the baby first day home after handwashing and no touching the face. I told the baby "no" and "wait" all the time in ear shot of the oldest so shed feel like she is getting attention too. We had minimal jealousy early on. I carried the baby a lot while doing stuff the 3/4 year old liked. It started to become worse when the youngest started walking and taking toys etc but we worked through it. I never made DD1 feel like she was responsible for anything with DD2, not physically and not her feelings. We made baby nap time a special time to spend with a parent and play with special toys/books.  DD1 also hated the word "big sister" she was anxious that meant less mommy time etc so we didnt use it as soon as we figured out the words made her upset not her actual sister  At current ages we work on them not egging each other on and respecting personal space etc. [/quote]
