[quote=Anonymous]This is a really tough stage especially with the newborn. I assume you are sleep-deprived. Also, if your 3yr old is really having meltdowns that frequently, my first thought was that he's maybe not getting enough sleep too on top of likely feeling some loss of parental attention with the new baby in the house. Does the 3yr old still nap? That time when they are transitioning out of napping can be rough even without a new baby in the house. Any way you can work on getting the 3yr old to bed earlier? Also, when I had a toddler + new baby I made a point of occasionally making the baby wait while I did something with/for toddler (and verbalizing that I was doing that, i.e. Larla you need to wait a minute while I read to Larlo or make Larlo's snack, etc.) I think it helped him feel like he wasn't always getting the short end of the stick. Good luck! I hope it gets better soon.[/quote]
