My lovely well behaved (most of the time) little boy has become a little horror. He loves his new sister but is constantly fighting for attention when I feed her. He will poo his pants rather than use his potty or climb all over me and squash her. Any ideas how to get him to behave as I have to feed his sister and I am worried because she seems to sense my stress and clams up before taking a full feed.

Hi, this happened with us too - I think it's natural tbh but some things which helped..
A feeding box full of some special toys and a snack for dd whilst I was feeding
Downloading some apps to my phone, and her having my phone a special feeding time treat.
My twins are now 4.5 months and things are much better - I would say the first month is the worst for jealousy and then it gets gradually better.
Dd now can't remember life without them and loves making them smile at her and sharing bath time with them
