Toddler jealous of NB being worn

[66sunshine]

Hi Gals,

Any advice on how to deal with my 2yo son who gets jealous when the new born is being worn in a carrier?

Thanks!

Do you have a carrier that you could use with him? My oldest was 23 months old when her sister was born so I bought a woven wrap and a toddler carrier so I could wear them both (mostly one at a time!). The novelty wore off quite quickly for her - I think it was just that being told it was only for the baby made it seem a lot more desirable.

Thanks! I do wear him as well, around the house sometimes. The problem comes when we are going out and he has to go in the stroller but the baby gets strapped on. He wants to be held as well!

Can you not carry him on your back and little one on the front?
That's what my friend does
