Trying to find the right way he shouldn't feel like new baby taking away from him. He's thrilled. Loves new baby. But he doesn't sleep through the night and comes into my bed. When baby wakes and I need to feed her I need him to go onto my husbands bed or his own. Problem is he's fear ridden and wants me to come sit near his bed..and if I nurse her in his room his older sibling will wake up from baby and won't fall back asleep.... Any advice?

I know it's not helpful for this time, but if it's possible I usually try to wean a toddler/preschooler off of things like this before the new baby comes, long enough before birth so they don't connect it to the baby...

But I think that's important to say that to show that generally I'm not against weaning off something like this that makes things challenging/impossible for the mother. It's just that now that you didn't, I think this is not a good time to make that change.

So let's problem solve. Where do you nurse the baby? In bed? Or somewhere else? What is the issue with having the older sib there while baby is nursing? Hopefully we can find a way to solve the problem without creating extra jealousy.

No tips for the night, but do try to give him 1 on 1 time when the baby is napping.
Even just cooking dinner and him helping you counts.

Im a same and in this house tatty usually gets to sleep through night.he needs it. But this is a time when hes getta step in. You can nurse baby in your bed or wherever you wabt and hes gotta do four year old. However he or both of you decide he should do it
