It took a few years after nugget was born I stressed more about changing things she got used to when she was real young..I.E., bottle to sippy cup, crib to bed, potty training. It was a snap so, as parents, I think that part is natural when they adapt just fine and not a nightmare like we think it will be.
very true.. also i have realized that the worst thing some parent do when they have a new baby is the way they instruct their 2-5 years kid on how to deal with her/his new sis./bro... the relation must go as normally as possible with the least amount of instructions.. very stupid to keep telling your kid no dont touch the baby this way,.. dont kiss it this way,.. dont shout beside it this way!!!!!!!!.. this creates a gap between them and makes the kid want to "explore" the baby more
.. on the contrary i see it's good to encourage your kid to help you in everything related to the new baby to feel like you he is responsible enough to deal with the baby..and you know kids in this age are very happy when you make them feel they can help.. respect your kids minds they will give you what you want without instructions.. but to make things always direct with (do) and (dont) is the worst way to deal with them!!..
