[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since the baby is only two weeks, it seems like this will change as the baby grows a bit older, as she heals from childbirth and the baby can go longer between nursing sessions, and the toddler gets more used to the new sibling.  If the job is otherwise good and you want something more long term, you need to give it a few more weeks and concentrate on forming relationships with the kids while MB is present so that they are ready to go with you when she needs to hand one off.[/quote]

Just saw you've been there for three months.  I will add, the addition of a new sibling is pretty traumatic for the older kid, especially toddlers, and right now he probably needs to know that his mom is still his mom, which is why he's being clingy and she's not discouraging it.  It may be that in a few weeks when she and the baby are ready, she'll start handing the baby off to you and taking the toddler places one on one or vice versa (and the toddler might be easier once she's out of the house).  She just had a baby and is probably nursing round the clock.  Not sure what more you can expect right now.[/quote]

You are probably right when you say that the toddler is even more clingy than usual because of the new baby.
He is indeed easier when his mom is not present, but I can only be out with the toddler in the morning before lunch.
We have already talked about the baby; the mom breastfeeds and does not intend to pump or use formula until at least 8-9  months
So I doubt she'll be handing me the baby any time soon.[/quote]

The baby won't be nursing around the clock in a few weeks so she'll be able to hand the baby off and take a break with the toddler, or hand the toddler off and spend the day with the baby.  Either way, it won't be like this forever.  [/quote]
