Hello ladies, sorry I've disappear again. Keep reading from iPhone while I breast feed all hours of the night and of the day, but it's a pain to post one handed, and I don't want to do a half arsed, one fingered post.
First of all, Starlight, I've been meaning to say how utterly sad I am about the situation with your dad. Let us know if there is anything we could do for you. You must be going through a lot.
MrsA, 
BFN, and internalising the learning (WTF?). May renewed SWI not only be fun, but bear fruit. xx
Ladies, I'm utterly sleep deprived and exhausted, and could do with some advice from those of you with more than one DC. Diego is finding it very very hard with his little sister, and as a result, being very difficult. He used to be an easy, happy child, and now is constantly dissatisfied, whiney and clingy.
Bed time has become one protracted waiting game, as whereas before we read a couple of books, kissed him and left, now he wants us to stay till he falls asleep. Last night he woke up at around 2 and was up half the night wanting us in his bedroom, and screaming and crying whenever we went out thinking he was asleep. Both DP and I are utterly exhausted, as he spent half the night in his junior bed or on the floor, and I was feeding every two hours. He has also been tantruming, difficult, whiney and even slapped me hard yesterday. Anybody has any tips to deal with a jealous toddler? We try to give him lots of love and give him lots of attention, but inevitably he sees the baby sleeping in our room, and me feeding all day long!
i feel so sad for him and don't know what to do. He is obviously very anxious. What did you guys do? Did your toddlers have such a difficult time? did they grow to accept their sibling? How does one curb awful behaviour so that it does not become habit without making him feel abandoned?
