La Texican,

Any chance you can make the time right before and right after nursing the baby special attention times for your 3 yr. old?

Can you enlist him to be your special helper, getting you a blanket or pillow, bringing you a drink, doing other little things that give you an opportunity to tell him how important and helpful he is to you beforehand? And can think of something that he can do that will have him quietly getting things ready for the two of you to do something that he really likes when you are finished with nursing? Also, have you considered getting him a baby doll that he can take care of while you take care of the real one? Then instead of "I have to ignore you while I take care of someone more important.", which may be how he is feeling now, the situation can be "WE need to take care of our babies now, together. Remember, our babies like it to be quiet or they can't eat..." These are just some thoughts. I hope they are helpful.
