My 2 year & 10 months old daughter is having a severe case of regression ever since I had my new daughter two and a half weeks ago. My husband and I prepared her well for the new addition (or so we thought), and in theory, she was excited about her new sister, semi-understood what was happening, and was looking forward to it. We read the books, tried to explain things in toddler-appropriate language, and used baby dolls/toys to model the coming baby. But her attitude towards the situation all changed once the baby came out of my belly and the toddler visited us in the hospital.We were advised by our pediatrician to expect a regression in the toddler’s behavior, and we thought we were prepared for it. But when does it end? Is there anything I can do to help the process along? My husband and I try to give her extra attention, let her be involved, keep her pre-baby routine the same as much as possible, and have special activities just for her. But even after all of that, it seems that if anything, the regression is just getting worse. The whining, the crying, the clinginess, the lack of eating, the hatred of going to bed, the lack of solid sleep....I might lose my mind soon. Any advice or solidarity? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2IVcDMq
