I'm trying not to read too much into it but ds1 (2.6yrs) completely ignores ds2 (6mths). I have tried not to force the issue of being a big brother but tried to prepare him by involving him with my pregnancy and reading books with him etc.
His adorable litle brother arrived and he has hardly batted an eyelid. Part of me is glad he seemed to take it in his stride although now, 6 months on, he doesn't aknowledge his little brother and completely ignores him. He won't even let his brother touch him.
I try to involve them both in activities and also take time out with ds1 to give him special 'mummy time'. Has anyone experienced this? Should I do anything about it? If so what? Or should I just carry on?
Can't get computer access all the time so probably won't be able to reply too frequently but would love to hear any suggestions.
