Reasons for Baby's Demand


After smally's (brother's babyboy) entry we were like now we should be more careful with Kiele coz she should not feel insecure etc.. etc.. knowing how children are when there is a new entrant in the house. I kept all of them informed in the house that they should give equal attention to her and not to mention all the time that now she has grown big and we need to take care or look after the smaller one..hence behave urself etc.. etc..
I know of a friend of mine who has just delivered a baby girl and her first baby is around 4 years old. So long she was alone รข€“ she was a very obedient and well mannered child. The moment there was a new entrant her attitude, behavior everything changed this was told by my friend to me. When the massage lady would massage the baby she too wanted to be massaged. She would not listen when told something coz she wanted a mom and dad to keep repeating the statement “ coz she wanted attention. With my friend's experience I was prepared for Kiele behavior also to change.The same thing happened when she demanded to be tied at night like smally. So these changes take place in the family but one must be able to manage and give time for both and not make the elder child feel left alone or else she will develop a feeling of insecurity and become stubborn and feel that nobody loves them anymore.. hence this is a message to all moms.

Baby's Demands



My Brother just became a father of a baby boy last week on the 27th of June. The baby boy just arrived home 2 days back. Looking at the infant being tied up with a cloth she too wants to be treated the same way. Though she's 1.5 years old now she is very observant and wants to be tied up in the same way before going to sleep. She starts screaming "tie..tie" after seeing the baby being tied up. So we have to take the bed sheet and tied her up for sometime to please her. Will have to wait and see what more things she is going to demand for. :)
