It was not pretty. Very clingy, crying a lot, acting out, not napping (OMG). I felt like she hit the terrible twos overnight and it was all my fault for bringing this baby into her life. Now the baby is 2.5 months and things are almost back to normal. We still have out moment of course, but it's so much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-toddler-act-out-when-you-came-home-from-the-hospital-with-2#post-2104336 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 16:29:23 +0000 wonderstruck 2104336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the things you're doing, especially talking to the baby when she needs to wait while youre busy with the toddler, is exactly right! I'm sure she just needs some time to adjust. My toddler would always get super upset when I was changing the baby's diaper. For a while nothing helped, but eventually he got to the point where if I made a big show of inviting him to come with us and then talked to him throughout, he was okay. Now I don't need to do that anymore.</p> <p>And come on ladies, I know technically she asked a yes or no question but I think she's looking for people who can empathize with her situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-toddler-act-out-when-you-came-home-from-the-hospital-with-2#post-2104309 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 15:59:13 +0000 autumn865 2104309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I could have written this post! When we first got home DD1 (2.5 years) was extra clingy and pouty but was ok. This turned into a short lived obsession with the baby. Now the "terrible twos" are out in full force With the baby being 6 weeks with a lot of opposition and negative attention seeking behaviors. It's exhausting along with a colicky baby :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-toddler-act-out-when-you-came-home-from-the-hospital-with-2#post-2104292 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 15:54:10 +0000 BandDmommy 2104292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-toddler-act-out-when-you-came-home-from-the-hospital-with-2#post-2104264 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 15:44:37 +0000 autumnlove 2104264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, she was just very curious and she stared at her sister a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-toddler-act-out-when-you-came-home-from-the-hospital-with-2#post-2104256 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 15:38:50 +0000 sorrycharlie 2104256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my toddler was 2 years 4 months and did REALLY well, actually. the tough part has been the last few weeks - my infant is 2 months old now. </p> <p>my toddler has been competing for attention in a big way - shrieking when the baby is asleep and watching me for a reaction (how do you not react to that??), fake crying and whining, totally regressing in her wubbanub attachment. </p> <p>the last week she's been better because I have been vocalizing to both of them (even if the baby can't understand me. "C, one minute, I'm helping your big sister with her shoes!" or something like that. We signed up for a couple toddler classes (gym and music). I'm also moving big sister from her space saving high chair to a big girl booster, and we're looking into a FF harness to booster to give the baby her RF/FF convertible seat. </p> <p>hoping little things like that will help her feel like a big girl! </p>
