Hello
I have my DS1 (nearly 3) and newborn DS2 (5 days old
all going well, DS1 delighted with small brother. but he gets very overenthusiastic jumping on us both if I breastfeed - messing up breastfeeding entirely, so I've started bf away from him and generally only being with him when I can focus attention mainly on him - although we do spend time together with baby and daddy once baby is asleep/fed/settled etc.
this was ok apart from cutting down on time spent together
now DS1 is starting to get really over-physical with me, cuddling roughly and jumping on me when I'm with him. with CS scar and big bf boobs this is *@@~~!!! painful. I've tried putting a cushion over my belly and boobs to make a big cuddle more possible but even this doesn't help entirely. I'm just in pain here and very stressed at the thought of having to stop DS1 coming near me, for the effect on him/jealously of the newbie/feeling rejected in an unsettled time. But equally I can't put up with sort of pain!
any suggestions on how to cope with this much appreciated
