Can you help a twitter friend please? Bf baby/jealous toddler

[DinkyDancer]

She has a newborn and her toddler is getting jealous when she feeds. It's a while since i had to do it but have suggested reading books and giving fave snack.

I will link thread to twitter for her.

don't forget cbeebies!

She made find it easier to take the toddler to a playgroup or soft play area sometimes. Then she can feed while the toddler charges around.

Would a sling help?

Or a box of special things - snacks, toys, bubbles that only comes out when she is feeding.

HTH

Yes, treasure basket would be good - google 'heuristic play' for ideas.

Puzzles?

I'd second the sling suggestion - good for the park too.

I used to sit cross legged on the floor and feed while doing jigsaw puzzles/playing Happyland.

Would like to clarify that was with toddler, not just for the fun of it!
