I have a 22 month old DS and a 3 week old. DS is generally quite a good boy really, but since the baby's arrival DS has understandably acted up more than usual. This, combined with my tiredness and consequential lowered patience levels is making it difficult to deal with tantrums.
In particular, I'm finding it very stressful when we go out without my DH (so all week!), as, something (usually leaving time) will trigger a huge tantrum. The worst I ever experienced was the first time I had ever taken them out on my own. It was absolutely awful and I was a stressed, panicking mess by the time we got back to the car!!
I've tried doing the whole 'we're leaving in x minutes' but he's too little to really comprehend.
Has anyone any top tips please?
To add to the difficulty, I usually have the baby in a sling so I can't pick him up as he can kick and bite (and is blinking heavy!)
