Hi all,

Well we have our 4 week old little girl home and our 22 month old son has this week decided he wants to cry all day long and become unsettled at night.

He's not sick, he's eating all his food and when we put him down to bed at night he goes to sleep only to wake two hours later crying.

My husband and I have put it down to jealousy as the new bub sleeps in her bassinet in our room. Also we thought that becuase she gets breastfed he gets more jealous.

Prior to the bub he was a good behaved boy, slept through and rarely cried.

Has anyone gone through this before? Any tips on what we can do as all he does now is cry?

Thanks

i dont have experience with a toddler and a new born but does your son have a doll he can feed when your feeding your DD? maybe even get a doll bed where the doll sleeps in his room so its just like his baby? is he involved in helping out with your DD?

i hope you can get it sorted out soon and i am sure there will be others on here who will have some wonderful advice for you.
