I think that's what it is. I Hope 😨 lol

@alexandrea777, I just had him and my daughter does poke at him in the eye and for head and cheeks lol I was thinking the same maybe just trying to get him to react.

kids react so differently.. my 4 year old loves his baby brother but I would catch him poking at him, like in the forehead and cheeks.lol maybe trying to get a reaction out of baby...that was when baby was first brought home he's close to 3 month's now. I just include him as much as possible so he doesn't feel left out . hope all is going well for you all :)

@mommy.to.my.princess.and.prince,

My daughter was a little jealous but came around with her brother but for my son, he lovesd his baby bro when he was little but now it's like they're always fighting & arguing lol but they get along most of the time lol

My son is 2 years old and my baby girl 2 months old..when he first met her he didn't want to even look at her he'd look past her ..when we went home he was all over her kept smelling her and smothering her in kisses! It was so cute! Of course he has his jealous moments but that's when I'll show him more attention and leave her or even have him join

My daughter is 5 and she has been great with the baby! She is very loving and super excited to be a big sister. HOWEVER, I will say that even though she was great with the baby and with daddy, I got a lot of extra attitude and not the best listener with me. The fact that I have to spend more time with the baby (especially since I am EBF) means that I have less time that usual to spend with her. My baby is now 3 months old and we have found a good balance where my older girl feels like she is getting enough attention from both of us and still gets to be involved in caring for the baby. It really is all about balance and making sure that the older child doesn't feel like they don't matter anymore. I would suggest that when the baby is sleeping, make a point to something one on one with the older child. In the end, it all works out!

Just realized you have a girl. Lol sorry. I'm so used to having sons.

My son did really well adjusting. My little guy was born really early though, so my big kid came to the nicu a few times. Big kid instantly loved his little brother, and now they're best friends. I think 3-4 years is an awesome age gap because at 3-4 they had enough time with you, and then they're more self sufficient. You should be ok though. Just involve your big kid in your pregnancy and tell him how good he'll be as a big brother! Also, you could get a "present from baby" when you bring baby home.
