Anyone with 2 young kids have any advice for me please.
Since my 6 weeks old boy was born my 3 year old girl is so jealous which I kind of knew might happen but I didn't know it would be so bad.
When baby needs a feed she gets so angry cause she knows I won't give her attention anymore. She sometimes bites me or hits me or even tries to go for the baby.
I've tried getting her involved by letting her feed baby with me, letting her put the sterilised bottles on the steriliser and I've even had one on one time with her doing stuff we love whilst her dad stays with the little one.
Ive tried a lot that Google had said and also looked at NHS about it but nothing seems to be working.
The more attention I give her the worse she becomes.
Any suggestions out there on what you did and how long this will last?

Does she get attention after the bad behavior? That may be why she is increasing the amount of negative behavior.
Actually I'm not sure whether she does or not but I'll have to keep an eye on that.

My older one just wanted to be next to me while I fed baby, I would end up reading to her. She would hold the book and turn the pages while I read. You could also try giving her a snack at those times, screen time (vooks, learning songs, movement videos, story time read aloud), having her own baby to feed. Letting her know she needs to be nice and stopping the activity if she starts to act out.
Some moms also do a special basket of things for their kids while they're feeding the little one. So things they only get while baby is eating. Could be a special toy, book, stuffed animal, coloring pages and stickers, etc.
