My newborn is only 2 weeks but Im already in a complete state, forever 'apologising' to ds1 (2 years) for having to give baby sister a 'very quick feed'
He wants to climb into my lap, and I end up having to push him away. I keep telling him that mummy loves you and you can sit with mummy just as soon as mummy has finished feeding...but he is the depths of despair!
On his knees in floods of tears. Theyre not angry tears or attention seeking tears, he looks genuinely devastated.
Ive tried giving him good toys/putting on video for him. He just keeps turning and looking at me and falling apart.
What can I say/do to make it easier on him?
thankyou
