Toddler and Newborn  |
|
 When you have a newborn sometimes there is a kind of unusual rivalry that occurs especially as your toddler suddenly feels that his role has been taken over by the new born baby. This result in a level of jealousy from the toddler .How do one handle this?

1.  tinkerick (743) | 3 months ago |  Aside from giving your toddler all the attention you can when the baby doesn't need you, you can:
- talk with him and explain how helpless babies are, and how he's getting to be a big boy.
- have him help you with little things with the baby such as handing you the diaper, wipe or powder during changes, have him hold a bottle (under supervision), have him play with, talk and sing to the baby. Even tell stories.
The more involved they are with helping you with the baby, the better they feel because 1- they are not being ignored, and 2 - they feel big and useful. Especially if you praise them all the time for the little things they help with.

2.  zukepr (9922) | 3 months ago |  yes you do!
This is normal
the toddler is used to get all of your attention but suddenly is dethroned by the new baby because baby needs more attention
the best thing you can do is set aside some special time for you and the toddler on a regular basis and do something fun together without baby
also getting toddler involved with help with the baby helps some too because toddlers like to feel important
minus me please, thanks

3.  Hatley (10014) | 3 months ago |  I just realized after all these years that when I had
my two kids just ten months apart that I was really
lucky. no sibling rivalry because they were so close
together that they were almost babies together. my son
was born first and as they grew he always stuck up
'for his little sister and she adored him. Sadly she
died at age eight, but we were priveledged to have had
her as long as we did. they were always sort of buddies.

| 4. stephcjh (11217) | 3 months ago |  All that I could suggest, is that when you know you are going to have a new baby in the house, try to prepare the toddler for it and give them small duties to do to make them still feel as equally important. Make sure to give them both equal attention also and little duties to help you do with the new baby.

5.  hiccup (3672) | 3 months ago |  You involve a lot of things you do with the new born,
The toddler having things to do will feel an ownership, and there fore will relate more with the he baby.
