I don't see it getting any better... once they start seeing the other kid as a KID and a peer, it's hard to go back to that gentle-baby mentality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-older-lo-gentle-with-the-baby#post-907292 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 07:03:58 +0000 Rubies 907292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope so!

It's really very sweet. I'm hoping this will continue for when his sibling arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-older-lo-gentle-with-the-baby#post-906822 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 17:42:19 +0000 autumnlove 906822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My toddler isn't gentle at all! The baby usually tolerates the abuse but she isn't having any of it today! </p>
