My DS is 21mts old and I took on an baby who is now 11mts about 5 weeks ago. For the first few weeks my DS was fine however the last couple of weeks he is quite miserable when mindee is here.
Mindee does keep taking DS's toys which I know is annoying him but mindee is too young to know better and DS just wants to play in peace.
My DS has taken to playing at the dining table when in the living area and if he is playing on the floor as soon as mindee approaches he scoops up the toys and runs crying to the other end of the lounge. If the two of them are in the room without me, when I'm in the kitchen, he trys climbing on the gate and crys the whole time. He crys in the double buggy as soon as I put mindee in.
I'm hoping he settles soon as it's driving me nuts. I think he will be OK eventually as he was fine at first and they smile and interact nicely at meal & snack times but I'd just appriciate some tips to help him come to terms with having to share his space, mummy and toys more quickly.
