I will add that the most jealousy issues we've had are when I am nursing the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-lo1-react-when-lo2-was-born#post-1358898 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 20:18:06 +0000 regberadaisy 1358898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: LOL cuz she's your feisty M! </p> <p>So glad to hear all these optimistic stories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-lo1-react-when-lo2-was-born#post-1358857 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 20:05:59 +0000 chopsuey 1358857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are 20 months apart and the first month or so was fine. DD didn't show any jealousy. After the 1 month mark something happened and she got super clingy and would cry bloody murder whenever she heard the baby crying (knew I would go get him).<br /> Thankfully that stage of life didn't last long. Since then we've had good days and bad, but mostly good. She is super loving towards baby brother, but also smacks, pushes and takes things from him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-lo1-react-when-lo2-was-born#post-1358851 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 20:01:40 +0000 Andrea 1358851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She loved having a baby sister right away and hasn't shown very much jealousy. She also became a lot more independent after the baby arrived. I think she realized that we wouldn't be able to give her all of our undivided attention. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-lo1-react-when-lo2-was-born#post-1358353 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 14:21:22 +0000 GrapeCrush 1358353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was only 15 months old when his little sister got here...he could have cared less lol he was more interested in running around the hospital </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-lo1-react-when-lo2-was-born#post-1358318 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 14:03:06 +0000 autumnlove 1358318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was almost 16 months old when the baby arrived...she was very curious but not jealous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-lo1-react-when-lo2-was-born#post-1358301 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 13:42:13 +0000 HLK208 1358301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was surprisingly 100% okay with his sister. He was 3 years, 1 month when she arrived. He had more of a problem with me being pregnant since I physically couldn't play with him as much as he wanted. As soon as he saw her, he asked, "so there isn't a baby in your tummy anymore?" And "can you run with me now?!"</p> <p>There was no jealousy issue, he was gentle and quiet around her...mostly just fascinated and curious. It was a really smooth transition. We also cuddled with him more, he went to a movie with just dad, he had mom dates, where we would go to lunch and a toy store. He got more one-on-one time than when I was pregnant it's seemed. He had a gift for his sister in the hospital and he also had a firehouse that he helped his grandpa put together while we were busy in the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-lo1-react-when-lo2-was-born#post-1358280 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 13:21:13 +0000 cyndistar3 1358280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD#1 was three and a half when dd#2 was born and she loves her so much, she was never jealous of her and she was alway nice and gentle. She has been so protective of her from day one. They're still best friends a year and a half later :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-lo1-react-when-lo2-was-born#post-1358245 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 12:52:32 +0000 stargal 1358245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>subscribing to this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-lo1-react-when-lo2-was-born#post-1358231 Sat, 18 Jan 2014 12:41:22 +0000 DisneyBee 1358231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO#2 is arriving at the end of March. My DS is 3 years old, and has only known life with Mommy and Daddy. He has never had to share his parents with another baby/child. I'm hoping that he'll welcome LO#2 with open arms and be gentle and nice, but I'm also preparing for possible jealousy issues. </p> <p>I'm planning to give DS a gift from LO#2 when he visits in the hospital. Plus, I'll probably make some date outings with DS, too. </p> <p>Any tips or experiences moms of 2 would like to share? </p>
