Tanturms

Your not failing mama. She's had a massive life adjustment with a new baby when she used to have you all to herself and she doesn't know how to communicate this to you so it escapes her body in a tantrum. Have you tried getting her a doll? So she has her own baby then she can copy mum feeding and changing etc. Talk her through what your doing so she can copy and your getting it done while she feels like your playing with her. Get her to put her baby to bed then pretend to be quiet around her baby so they don't wake up. It's tough times iv got a 3 Yr and almost 2 xx

You are not alone. I have a newborn and for the first 6 weeks my toddler was a nightmare. He still has his moments but things will get better. Like the above person mentioned they have had a huge change in their life and they can’t use their words to describe how they are feeling. Just take each day as it comes. If it’s possible find local activities to take your toddler to. The other thing I’ve found has helped at times is to include my almost 2 year old in the care for our newborn. Also in the evenings taking time out for yourself to decompress and do some self care. Just remember it won’t be forever x
