[quote=Anonymous]You talk about wanting more routine, but a typical routine for a toddler would be that mom walks in the door and gives them a few minutes of uninterrupted time, with or without nursing. Building that routine, and not pretending that she’s going straight to cooking is what solves this problem. Your younger kid gets her needs met without reinforcing this pattern of “I need to cry to get my needs met”. Your older child gets a routine that they can predict and isn’t wondering what’s going to happen each day. It sounds like both you and your wife know the toddler is going to nurse at that time, so it’s unclear why you’re tormenting the kids by pretending it might go another way. Working on building a routine would help both kids, and both parents.[/quote]
