I need reassurance

My son is still not interested in the baby at all. He doesn't show her any affection or attention and if we try to encourage it he just says "no" and goes back to whatever he was doing.

I'm trying not to push it and I'm not usually the type to worry about such things, but this bothers me.

Anyone else have the same experience? Is it normal for his age? If your LO eventually warmed up, how long did it take?

    This is so normal! He is still a baby too! His world is all about him (and you!) Nolan was 19 months when Linc was born, and he was very similar. They are thick as thieves now!

    This.

    ZERO interest until the baby could interact.

    If you think about it babies are VERY not interesting.  They don't do much!

    Give it time.

    D first started noticing J when he started smiling.  Then a bit more when he was playing with toys and REALLY noticed him when he started walking.  Until then I honestly don't think he realized he was a "person", KWIM? 

    Mine are BFF's now.  Like seriously say to each other "you're my bestest friend!"

     

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.

    so normal.

    alex pretty much ignored or hated brynn for the first 5 months.

    just recently (within the past 3 weeks) she has started acknowledging her.

    i think it's because brynn is 6 months now & starting to seem more...real? i guess.

    no worries :)

    Should've known I could count on my SAIF ladies to make me feel better. Why didn't I just post there in the first place?? Wink

    DS will occasionally show DD affection.  He rubs her head and gives her kisses.  But he also has his aggressive moments. 

    He oftentimes tells me to put the baby down by whining "baby" and going over to her swing (indicating he wants me to put her in the swing).  Or he will take the Boppy pillow and say "no no no", indicating he doesn't want me to nurse/hold her.  Or he will get into the glider so I can't sit there with her.
