Her youngest is 3 1/2 and looked so worried and scared when R was crying. She was overtired so nothing was settling her down. It was sort of cute how worried she was about R. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-get-scared-with-a-newborn-starts-crying#post-799159 Tue, 21 May 2013 19:36:43 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 799159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: lol! Nothing is wrong with your kid:) Heck, i'm a mom and I freak out when my baby starts fussing. I literally start to stress sweat.<br /> I think my son will be the same. He has never been around kids and our house is REALLY QUIET. He will be maybe 20m old if we get pregnant with #2 as planned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-get-scared-with-a-newborn-starts-crying#post-799024 Tue, 21 May 2013 18:40:49 +0000 banana 799024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw I think it's sweet.

Oh, 4 - be annoyed at the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-toddler-get-scared-with-a-newborn-starts-crying#post-798885 Tue, 21 May 2013 17:39:42 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 798885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: I think she'll come around once it's HER sibling.

The baby started fussing and then crying and my daughter totally freaked the heck out! She started panicking, tearing, and asking for me to pick her up...</p> <p>Why? </p>
