Hi,
new baby arrived last Thursday morning. DS1 didn't go to nursery Thursday and Friday as granparents were around to help out and of course dad was off, too. We collected the baby and me from hospital together Friday afternoon.
His reaction to baby was good and continued to be good all weekend - gently stroking baby, asking questions about him, bringing him toys, observing nappy changes.
Yesterday (Monday) he went back to nursery for the first time as we want to keep him in his routone. Unfortunately, he didn't have the most normal start back at nursery as on Sunday night he spent five hours at A&E with dad, having put a pea up his nose at dinner 😊!
So he only arrived at nursery at lunchtime and apparently had a long emotional outburst.... couldn't stop crying for an hour! This is very not like him.
I can only assume that this was because everyone is asking about his little brother, or mentioning him now being a big brother. Lots of change for him to deal with 😯.
Anyhow, have you got any experiences of how to help in the shirt term? Our routines will certainly be different for the time being. Norally it's me doing breakfast and nursery run, but dad is currently taking over to help me dal with cluster feeding!
