How do your older children cope when you are b/f a baby?

[FairyTaleinNewYork]

dd2 is getting a bit annoyed with me b/f serena who is now 10months, usually as its at a time that dd2 thinks she needs me (she will want a drink and i have to tell her to wait), but soemtimes its just 'no dont feed nina'. she is 3yrs old?

my other dd and sometimes dd2 will also tell me 'nina is crying, she needs your boobs'.

ds doesn't mind at all. I sometimes think he should mind more than he does iyswim!
He doesn't know that babies have bottles!

Can you bf whilst moving around?I do this so I can look after the needs of my other kids. They aren't bothered by my bf as it doesn't impact on them.

ha ha ha ha ha
As soon as I sat down to feed a baby, any older child present took this as a license to create havoc, because they quickly twigged that I wasnt going to leap up every 2 minutes and stop them. Typically, they would be climbing on the sofa, throwing cushions, or peeling wallpaper off the wall.

Worst was in the surgery waiting room, where 2 toddlers had all their clothes off in seconds, and dd weed on the carpet
The surgery was very unsympathetic. God forbid that anyone there would help a breastfeeding mother with 2 older toddlers.

so, in answer to your question, the older children coped just fine!

they coped fine but caused havoc? lol.

dd2 cuddled up this morning when i feeding dd3 in bed, was quite sweet, she was stroking dd3 hair.

i thought your question ws about a newborn.
but since its not, and your dd coped fine initially, id say it is a new attention seeking behaviour. deal with it in anyway that you would deal with other attention seeking behaviour.

Can you read to dd2 while feeding dd3? Probably not, now that dd3 is 10 months and probably wiggly?

I did a lot of "reading and feeding" in DS2's early days.

From the very beginning, DS1 has periodically tried to get some milk himself (in a sort-of joking way), which I let him do, but of course he's forgotten how to latch on. The other day, he went on a boob that his brother had been working on, and got some milk. He pulled off fast, and looked very surprised.

One word: Cbeebies

I know, I know... bad mummy. But it worked and we had precious little resentment.

i have tried reading to dd2 whilst feeding dd3, but dd3 has ripped books when i've tried, and then she pops off for a nosy.

dd2 doesnt generally seek attention in this way, in fact she hardly ever does seek attention.

Maybe snuggle and chat with DD2? Tell her made-up stories? Talk her through the next few days?
