I have a 2 year old and just had our second baby.
I tried explaining to toddler before baby arrived about what breastfeeding was. That it’s how he ate. Showed him photos of him feeding etc.
Now he’s here my toddler absolutely hates it every time baby eats. He keeps saying ‘get off please’ and ‘baby stop it’
I don’t know if he thinks he’s hurting me or something but he’s really taken to the baby other than that so I don’t want this to affect his relationship.
Any tips or advice from anyone who’s been through similar?

Following! I worry about this being an issue for my 2 year old as well

Hopefully it goes better for you than us. He seemed to understand before baby was here but now it’s actually happening doesn’t like it.
Hopefully it settles down, it’s only been a day for us 🤞
