How to cope with jealousy in 2 y.o?

i have a son who will be 2 in january. I just had a girl on christmas (one week ago). At first my son seemed fine with the changes but is now showing signs of jealousy. I breast feed her and whenever she is in my lap being fed or im just holding her he HAS to be in my lap. ( which he's sick right now so im trying very hard to keep him from getting her sick) He screams all day now and is really throwing remper tantrums. Im guessing its for attention. ( which i try to give him more of since she has been born) He tries to dump her out of her little bouncer that i have her in sometimes.It's really starting to rattle my nerves and NEED some advice on how to help him feel better about his new sister.How to cope with jealousy in 2 y.o?
Skip the time-out idea. That will not do anything but cause more jealousy with her brother.


First of all get him involved in the problem solving. One of my friends did that with his daughter from the time that she was about your sons age onward. You might ask him, ';what do you think would make you feel better about having a baby sister?';


Secondly let him hold her. Don't force it on him but if he asks if he can hold her allow it. Don't tell him he's too young.


Teach him gentle touch. Don't have her in her bouncer when he's around. Also pick a day and a time that is just for him. Maybe every Wednesday you might go to dinner at McDonalds or chuck-e-cheeseHow to cope with jealousy in 2 y.o?
leave her at home with your mom or dad or even a babysitter then take your son to a park or to do something he likes to do hope i helped
Im keeping an eye on this question because my son turns 2 in 2 weeks, and im having a baby boy in two weeks!





but some advice i herd was try getting him involved with the baby (when he isnt sick of course) or put him in time out in his room for a minute or two.





but how to get him involved is like... have him her her diapers, let him hold her, with ALOT of supervision and help!





my son loves to pet, and give bottles to babies so im hoping by how much he loves to help babies he will be a good brother


good luck!
