Had new baby DD yesterday, Grandma looked after DS but he wanted to know where I was... have spent pregnancy talking to DS about baby trying to do all the right things, DH took him out this morning then came to hospital to meet us
had present for DS etc. DS seems really scared by baby she is crying a lot and he seems to think that DD is hurting me when I feed her though I have assured him it doesn't

he is 2yrs 3 mos, ever since bedtime he has been wailing for me, when I go in he says no love you, me sad and he is really truly upset can't sleep I feel terrible what can I do to help him and me sort this out? I am also hormonally all over the place after a areally fast and bit traumatic labour still feel like a punching bag! I just want to make sure I do the right things for him

My DD was born 3 weeks ago and DS (2.9) is also taking it quite badly even though we tried very, very hard to make it as easy on him as possible. It's like the terrible 2's have struck all at once!

No advice as yet as I'm still struggling with it myself but I hope it gets better for us both soon.
