Please if anyone has any advice, I'd really appreciate it . I recently had my 3rd and last baby. He's absolutely adorable and couldn't love him more. I also have a 11 year old and a 5 year old ( turned 5 at the weekend)
My eldest is pretty chill about the baby. But my 5 year old has been really out of sorts. He's been doing bad behaviours (hitting. Etc ) that we nipped in the bud months ago.. waking baby on purpose..really distant with me and basically I can see he is struggling with the new baby being here. He's very sweet with the baby and we are helping them bond , extra praise when he gentle etc.. I've made sure to still put him 2 bed and give him as much 121 attention as I can(I am always breastfeeding which makes me feel guilty as stuck to baby) I am making sure to tell him and show him I love him so much...but I just would love some advice as Im worried I've made a big mistake and that maybe we won't work as a family of 5. Will this get easier? Will we find our way ? Any tips on how to make sure all my children feel secure and loved? Is having 3 pushing my luck and how do others with 3 cope with splitting the attention evenly !? Full of mum guilt here:(, would never want my 2nd born to feel out of place and obviously wouldn't want him to take things out on baby x
