So I am due with Baby # 2 in a few weeks. My little one has been involved from day 1, coming to every doctor's appointment, scan and has an understanding that there is a baby growing inside me. She often kisses my belly and points to it saying 'baby'. Now for the last 7 months, she has been eating by herself and my husband and I have been very proud of this achievement. She has this desire to be independent and feels part of the family unit when we all eat together. Now for the last two days, she is not interested in eating her food. In fact she welcomed being fed, which she normally doesn't like. She doesn't like others fussing over her while eating and likes to eat at her own pace by herself.
Is she aware that D-day is approaching very soon? Is there an unconcious desire to be the 'baby' again? I mean she IS still the baby, after all she is barely 2 years old. It's like she is pacing back and forth between independence and dependence. The next few weeks is going to be critical for her and lots of attention, love and patience is in order...
