So...Aidan is still...milky-obsessed. Despite being weaned since December (Yes, I did nurse him until he was 2 ) he often feels the need to mash them, poke them, twist them, etc and speak fondly of the "milkies". We told him that the milkies were 'broken' and that is why he had to wean when he did...and he has consistently maintained that the milkies are not "kaput" they are "gut".
Last night he was laying in bed with me and we were watching finding nemo. He was feeling my tummy and Zoe started moving all around. "Zoe kicked me"....he said. He was so excited and I was too, to kind of discover that maybe he was understanding that he is having a sister. I used it as my opportunity to talk about the baby and we also discussed that Zoe would get 'milkies'...but that Aidan could give her a bottle with milk in it sometimes (I'll just pump it for him)....and he was completely ok with it...then he said "Aidan have milkies ...milkies not kaput".
Ummm...hmmmmmm....I am concerned that when he sees her nursing that he may want to nurse again too and I'm not really comfortable with that now....it just seems weird to me.
I tried to explain that Zoe would be a "teeeeny baby" and that babies get milkies. "Aidan baby!"
Has anyone had a toddler kind of regress in that way after a baby is born? And...what did you do?
