Did your little one get along/happy when you brought home a newborn?

Question

Answer

She was a little jealous, but it wasn't bad. Maybe it was helpful that our baby was born in March at the beginning of the lock down so my husband was home to give her attention and such. She was almost 22 months when our second was born.

Answer

When we had our second our 2 year old at the time didn't want anything to do with the baby when we were in the hospital. I think he was more so confused as to why we (dad and mom) were staying there, and would not go by the baby. As soon as we got home it was completely different. He was all hands on deck. He immediately wanted to hold his brother and would lay with my husband who was also holding the baby. Helping all the time. It was great.

Answer

I was nearly six when my sister was born and was told I acted ambivalent about it 🤷🏼‍♀️ there’s no knowing how kids will react

Answer

He was incredibly apathetic. He acted as if the baby did not exist. He wasn’t mad and he certainly wasn’t happy. He didn’t touch the baby until he was 2 weeks old then didn’t touch him much after that for several months. It made me sad.
