Having problems with my 2 year old son and New Born girl?
Answers:
yes it's normal.
my son was two when i had my daughter and he did the same thing. he was just acting out cause i spent more time with her them him. i am a stay a home mom and have been sense before my son was born so he was used to getting all the attention then when his sister was born. i was breast feeding so i spent more time with her. what he needs is you. he just wants things the way they were before his sister came around. and sense that can't be undone then just spend some quality time alone with him. have your husband help out and watch the baby while you spend some quality time with your son. he will soon get over this and become very loveable with her. he will always want to hold her and give her kisses. one thing you can try is if you have him give you and your husband kisses before nap and bed, you can have him give his sister kisses. it will teach him that she is part of the family too. as your daughter gets older and starts to sit up he will want to play with her. and when crawling he will crawl around chasing her and her chasing him.
with him getting into things he didn't used to it is just a phase and will pass. he isn't listening cause he thinks you aren't really paying attention to him so he thinks he is invisible.
when she is napping you can put her in your room and lock it so he can't get in there. if he plays loud and she isn't a hard sleeper then play some music in your room or wherever you put her at to sleep and it will help her sleep through the sounds and it will also help muffle out the sounds of your son sleeping. you can place a baby monitor in her bed with her sense she can't sit up yet put it at her feet or right above her head where she can't reach it.
if your door doesn't have a lock you can put one of those hook and eye latches on the door and frame up out of his reach (the top of the door) and that should keep him out.
you can have him help you give sissy a bath and change her diaper (let him open it up) or he can sit up by her head and talk to her while you change her.
this all helps him get used to her being there but the most important thing is to spend time alone with him.
congradulations and good luck.
He is feeling jealous. Do some one on one things with him if you can. Make him feel like he is still important and that it's not all about his new sister.
