Newborn and 2 year old!
Anyone have a 2 year old and newborn? I’m a little bit nervous as to how my 2 year old is gonna take having a baby. I’m due any second!

Posted 5/9/21I have an almost 2-year old- she'll be 2 next month. Also kind of nervous, because she definitely hasn't understood my pregnancy/becoming a big sister.- My daughter turned 2 the day before my son was born. She did amazing with becoming a big sister. She didn’t understand when I was pregnant and had some times where she wanted more attention since baby needed the attention. But it was a great age gap. Fast forward to now... my son is almost 2 and I’m concerned how he’ll do when the baby comes home. He’s developmentally delayed with signs of autism. Baby has been in the NICU for almost 7 weeks. I’m thinking each child and situation will be unique, but we had a super positive experience with our kiddos!
- I have a 2.5 year old and planned repeat c section on May 17 for baby #2. I have been explaining to my toddler that she has a baby sister coming and point to my belly. She even gives her kisses! Hoping the adjusts well after baby comes. Good luck to you!
- My son turned 2 today. He’s a great big cousin but that’s not him sharing his parents just grand parents so I’m curious too.
Posted 5/9/21My dd is 2.5 and is so excited about becoming a big sister. We talk about baby sister a lot and she talks about how she is going to share with her. She even tells people at daycare that she is a big sister and tells them baby sister's name. I'm glad shes so excited, but I know it's going to be a whole nother story when baby sister gets here. I think she will be pretty jealous at first when I'm breastfeeding baby sister because she always wants to be on my lap; probably have to breastfeed on the couch, so she can still sit next to me and not feel left out. I'm 37 weeks today and we were just looking at my app and talking about baby sister. She was then jiggling my belly trying to get baby sister to wake up, lol.
Posted 5/9/21My son will be almost two when baby arrives and I definitely am nervous on how everything will go - I want to make sure I give him enough attention and love, but I also think he'll be jealous at first either way. I don't think he fully understands that there will soon be a new baby in the house.- I wish mine was going to be 2 when I have this baby but they are going to be 13 months apart and I'm freaking the F out! My first 2 are 18 months apart that was 8 yrs ago. 18 months and 13 months is a big difference.
Posted 5/9/21I was 2.5 when my little sister born. I did not want her and I know it was tough on our mom. I gave her a black eye when she was 6 months old! We're much better as adults, but our childhood was very rough as we did not like each other as kids. So work to facilitate a good relationship, but kids will determine their relationships themselves.
Posted 5/9/2120 month old and a 1 week old . 🥴🥴🥴 My son definitely doesn't know who or what she is and most times I keep them a safe distance apart because I'm pretty sure he think she's a toy. 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ It will get better.
Posted 5/9/21I'm in that boat right now! He LOVES her.... BUT tantrums have been on hyperdrive. Legit nothing can set him off out of the blue. Just be prepared for that and make sure you give your toddler some undivided attention as much as you can. It's really hard to do in the beginning but we can see a difference if we really try. You can also try and include them in things like diaper changes and stuff.
