I was wondering how much might be development since, as I mentioned, we haven't exactly done a lot of baby prep. I hope DD gets more interested in being a big girl soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regression-before-2-arrives#post-2181574 Mon, 18 May 2015 09:33:41 +0000 Rockies11 2181574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my 22 mobth oldd didn't really regress before the baby came, but now she's doing a lot of baby things - she nurses all the time and barely eats any food, wants to sleep in baby blankets, climbs into the basssinette and baby car seat. Everything I have read says to baby them and give them special attention, but talk about fun things that big kids can do that babies can't. So I have been doingg that ffor the past 3 weeks, and it seems to be improving a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regression-before-2-arrives#post-2181572 Mon, 18 May 2015 09:30:12 +0000 CObee 2181572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it might be age/development related! My dd just turned 3, and while we are trying for #2, I'm not pregnant yet, and we have been through almost all of your list of regressions over the last 6+ months. It's just now settling down to where she doesn't want to pretend to be a baby all day and demand to be carried/fed/rocked/etc. It seems to me she's just become more aware of age differences and what being a big girl means, and babies are really interesting to her. Now her big thing is when she does anything- ride a bike, eat pizza, go down the slide, etc. she asks if a baby can do that, then gets all happy and proud when we tell her no, only big girls can do that :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regression-before-2-arrives#post-2181553 Mon, 18 May 2015 09:21:37 +0000 glitterboots 2181553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My four year old is starting to act out. I'm 36 weeks pregnant so I'm pretty sure it will get worse once the baby gets here. I'm expecting some tantrums when he isn't getting enough attention, and accidents even though he's been potty trained for over a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regression-before-2-arrives#post-2181472 Mon, 18 May 2015 08:36:02 +0000 Corduroy 2181472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: Thanks!</p> <p>Any other bees experience this? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regression-before-2-arrives#post-2180859 Sun, 17 May 2015 11:51:27 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2180859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still pregnant with lo2 so this is not so much advice as empathy! We have had a bit of a regression lately in some areas.l and I've been stressing about this too. But I think I'm just going to have to cross that bridge when we get there. It doesn't seem like something we can really prevent, it's just going to be part of the craziness of having two of them. I keep telling myself that many many many people have been here before me, and it'll be fine! Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/regression-before-2-arrives#post-2180833 Sun, 17 May 2015 10:46:42 +0000 Corduroy 2180833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 36 weeks pregnant with LO2. LO1 is 26 months. I was expecting regression when LO2 arrived but it's hitting us already. I'm worried because we haven't even physically prepped for LO2 yet. There's no nursery or signs of baby around the house yet. I haven't had to limit lifting or snuggling of LO1 yet. LO1 knows baby brother is in my belly and we've read books but if she's reacting this strongly already I'm concerned I'm really in for it when #2 comes. </p> <p>These are the baby things she's doing:</p> <p>-Wants to be held/rocked like a baby<br /> -Baby talk (goo goo, ga ga)<br /> -Asking for diapers instead of pull ups/underwear<br /> -Requesting bottle (been on cup since 12 mo)<br /> -Requesting pacifier at bedtime (she never took one)<br /> -Asked for her booster to be converted back to a high chair</p> <p>She does seem excited about being a big sister. She's sweet to my belly and has freely declared things that are too small/babyish as "for baby brother." DH and I are trying to emphasize things big girls &amp; big sisters can do. I'm not sure what messages she's getting from daycare.</p> <p>I just started maternity leave and finally plan to start prepping for LO2. What can I expect in the next few weeks?</p> <p>If your LO started regressing before baby arrived how did things change once baby arrived? </p>
