Also I made a special activity box for my daughter to use at the time I was breastfeeding my son. Besides that, build in times that your child can touch the baby and involve him in the care for the baby and spend 1:1 with your older child as well (your partner can have an important role in this too)

When my boy was born my daughter was 1year and 3 weeks old. When I was breastfeeding my son, my daughter would nearly climb on top of him being between my son and me ! I think she wanted to be as close or closer to me then my son.
Make sure to spend 1:! time also with your eldest.

Have you tried making special time with him or a treat time when you are feeding

Would love to know how you got on and weather it has changed now you have a toddler

I say admire the fact. I have 2 boys 2 and 5months and I wish his older brother was as loving. He will grow out of it in his own time.

I know he is a boy but maybe buy him a baby doll or a teddy and teach him to do the things that he can with it that you are doing, obviously he can’t breastfeed so give him an empty bottle to pretend to feed the teddy. Try reading to him a book that he chooses or give him a snack at the feed times that suits.
Just make him feel he is involved as it could be just his way of not being left out

there are some good comments here

hows its going now ?

How is he going now?

Thank u for sharing this

Hope it’s all settled down now

Something new for him to see and touch. I’m sure he will eventually loose interest.

how is he going now?

I think get them involved in doing things like getting the nappies ready because after a feed bubs will need a new nappy and the like. hopefully will have settled down

How is he going now?

i hope it went well?

You could possibly get him his own ‘baby’ doll to look after? A friend did this, 2 year olds like to mimic and be involved, its precious though, just wait until they are brawling all the time..maybe take plenty of photos!

Good luck and I hope you find out a way for him not to be so in his face

Maybe get him to help you out like getting clothes for new born, nappies, wipes, dummies etc

This is a common problem with new babies and siblings. I found getting them to help with baby ie. getting a nappy for you at nappy change or a wipe. There are many different things you can get them to help you with. It will get easier once they get more used to having a new brother or sister. It’s a very cute stage but can be very frustrating at the same time.
