Posting here for traffic and looking for any advice/tips/reassurance. My DD1 is just over 3 and has always been a highly sensitive child. She was excited the whole pregnancy to have a baby sister but the reality of it is quite different. Whenever the baby cries DD1 wells up with tears, starts hitting herself and asks to leave the room. She is very clingy so won't leave the room on her own and wants one of us to go somewhere else with her otherwise she just sits there spiralling if we don't leave with her. This is all the more difficult as I am a SAHM so have to juggle them both and can't be leaving a crying baby. The baby is only 3 weeks old. It has got to the point where DD1 cannot tolerate any noise the baby makes even if it's not crying and just normal baby noises. We have tried to reassure DD1 and explain why babies cry and it's just because they cannot talk. Help needed!
