2 year old jumping on pregnant belly?

Question

Will he stop soon? I keep redirecting behavior but he is all over me and hurting me 😕any tips?

Answer

Be stern with him? Get up a move away from him and tell him n? Or maybe punish him if he keeps doing It after you’ve told him “no” multiple times. Sit him in time out or (a lot of women will disagree) pop him on the butt. I always redirect but that doesn’t always work so if my kid keeps doing something after I told him no several times, I pop him in his little butt. He will mind. I have been told this many times, “if you don’t get ahold of It now (child’s behavior) It will become worse later.” So, maybe do something different than just redirecting?

Answer

I’m currently 16 weeks pregnant with my third and my daughter is only 14 months old. She has been bouncing on me too and it’s gotten to the point where it hurts too much. I got her a doll and showed her how to be gentle with it. I stroke her cheek and whisper to her and then I do the same thing with the doll. She mimicks it and it’s honestly gotten SO much better now. Yesterday I started showing her how to be gentle with my belly. She got it pretty quickly but I know she will forget again in the heat of the moment so I will just have to keep it up

Answer

Do you have any baby doll or anything around to get him used to the idea of baby and how to hold and treat them? He may need it demonstrated how fragile they are then to understand one is in your belly now and that it is to be treated the same. Also he needs to learn he can’t hurt anyone’s belly even if you aren’t pregnant.
