hi there, i had my 3rd son on feb 2nd, i have a 21month old who is very jelouse of our new arrival and a 6 and a half year old who has behaverial problems. my house is a very manic one on a daily basis. my new baby boy (little roo) has a reflux valve problem, so he tends to sick up alot after feeds, gladley the doctor put him onto infant gaviscon to great effect, i would love to chat to parents with children of similar ages to mine, and if poss any parents out there that have children with behaverial problems. i don't really have anyone that i know to talk to or get advise from! i have had my son referred to a child behaviour therapist but it always seems to hit a dead end!!

hey, I also have a 2.5 year old and my second son was born on feb 3rd we are having a little jealousy as well especialy when i breastfeed, that when the most trouble happenes , we have also had to move 3 times from country to city and also move in with family within the last 7months so we have had some behavioral problems as wellwe also have 2 dogs to join in all the excitment our days are pretty exciting to say the least you just have to stay consistant and calm. it always seems like they start crying or acting up at the same time just take a deep breath and handle one at a time, i also try to spend a little extra one on one time with my 2 year old and leave the baby at home with dad sometimes

Hi Maryanne,

We had our 3rd baby on the 3rd Feb...a wee boy! We also have a 28 month old and a 4 year old. We've had our battles with vomiting up whole feeds due to thrush and yes the fighting siblings that never seems to end!!! I think every parent has a child/ren with some behaverial problem...as there's no such thing as a perfect child!!! but getting help or advice to get through it and to teach your child what is expected of him is important and getting support for you as the parent to know that what you are doing is right for your child. Parenting seems like a never ending battle at the moment for us!! it's a very busy time but putting in the hard yards now I know will pay off down the track...so keep at it and if you need to let off some steam...I'm here!!...I know how you feel!
