Baby come back! - Mouths of Mums

We were at the park a few days ago, and another Mum came in with her little one and her new bub. My little one promptly fell in love! She oooohed and aaahed over this little 3 month old, played with her feet, touched her hands and kept saying “My baby!” Followed, for some reason with “Baby cry?” (she wasn’t crying at all!)

After half hour or so, the other Mum went to leave.  Oh Dear… My child was jumping up trying to drag the little one out of her Mum’s arms by the feet, screaming “Don’t take my baby!”

This poor lady was quite taken aback!

I picked mine up and tried to explain this was NOT our baby, and she needed to go home with her Mummy.  After the lady managed to get out of the gate. my little girl clung to the gate, crying and sobbing “Baby come back! Baby come back!”  It took quite a while to settle her down. Since then, nearly every baby we see she runs up and looks, then, all disappointed says “Not MY baby…..”  I worry about what will happen when she finds one she decides is hers!

Your little girl needs a doll that you feed with a bottle of water, it wets its nappy and has to be changed the same as a baby does.
Or there is a baby doll that apparently has batteries in it that cries when it needs to be fed, burped, nappy changed and other life like problems. I don’t know what the brand is or where they are available. I do know that some schools use them as therapy for children with special needs to show them what is involved in caring for a baby

Oh wow, the poor dear and poor you too.

Maybe you need to take her shopping for her own baby or give her one for her birthday.
Let her wash it and feed it and maybe she wont act that way.
