What will my toddler think if...
« on: April 28, 2011, 01:33:39 pm »
So I'm nursing my new baby that's due any day and I'm wondering what I should tell my 3 year old if he asks what I'm doing to baby sister.  I mean I will be covered up but should I just tell him I'm rocking her to sleep because she's tired or what...?

I honestly don't think that he will make a big deal out of it unless you do. If he asks I would just tell him that I'm feeding his baby sister. It's not wrong and she has to eat! Kids view their own experiences as normal and if he hasn't really seen you or anyone else feeding a baby from a bottle than it will seem perfectly normal for you to breastfeed her if that is his experience. Just be prepared for him to tell people that you do. LOL

I agree, I don't see any reason not to tell him you're feeding his baby sister. There's nothing wrong with it!

Ya, just don't make it a big deal and don't stress out about it too much. Just nonchalantly say "I'm feeding baby sister, this is how little babies eat." Everything should be perfectly fine.
