How does the older siblings react towards your July baby? Grace is ALWAY trying to pick Caleb up or "help" him onto the sofa, toys, chairs, you name it. She drives me nuts!

Do they act jealous, over bearing, or loving? All three. Somedays she gets mad everytime I show Caleb attention, other times she's all over him and want's to be the Mommy. Then other times she's the nicest sister. Today he did the sign for drink and Grace pulled the chair over to the sink, got his sippy cup, filled it with water, and gave it to him...so nice. Ten minutes later she pulled him off his ride-on toy and took off down the hallway with it.

How often each day to you have to break-up fights between them? All day long!! Grace takes something away, Caleb screams. Grace trys to pick Caleb up, Caleb screams. Caleb rips at Grace's hair, Grace screams...UGH

How does the older sibling/s react towards your July baby? Keira, my oldest, is a wonderful older sister. She's like a little Mommy. Kaila has her days. Sometimes she's loving and other times, she loves him so much she just "has" to hurt him. Drives me crazy.

Do they act jealous, over bearing, or loving? Keira is great; although, I can tell she feels like he's the favorite. I have to reiterate to her that I treated each of them the same when they were babies. Babies just need extra TLC. Kaila is jealous...at least a little bit. If we pay too much attention to him, I can see her plotting a way to hurt him (just a little).

How often each day to you have to break-up fights between them? I have to break up fights between Keira & Kaila (Keira has issues with Kaila because Kaila shook up her "only child world"). Kaila also is a little physically aggressive with both kiddos. Someone's always getting injured it seems. Kellen has also taken to pulling Kaila's hair. Can you say, pay back? Sigh...

How does the older sibling/s react towards your July baby? Really good. Caden is a great big brother.

Do they act jealous, over bearing, or loving? Loving. He has never really been jealous of her, but I work really hard to make sure that doesn't happen. I do have to tell him to be gently, but that's coming to an end because Miss London is the one that bosses and controls Caden half the time.

How often each day to you have to break-up fights between them? Occasionally, but mainly I'm telling London to stop because she usually is the one taking things and hitting.

How does the older sibling/s react towards your July baby? She will play with her, dote over her, and sometimes bully her.

Do they act jealous, over bearing, or loving? Most of the time, she's loving. She loves to show off her baby sister, so I know she's proud of her. Lately though, she's starting to get jealous of the little one, starting to insinuate that everyone loves the baby more.

How often each day to you have to break-up fights between them? Maybe once or twice. I've taught my older DD how to coax things from her sister, ie hand her something else right before taking an item away. I'm extra cautious because the LO is small for her age and the older one's big for hers.

Those of you who have more than one child:

How does the older sibling/s react towards your July baby? Sierra likes to play with her but it has changed since last year when kenna was still a newborn. She fights with her, pushes her down, takes her stuff out of her hands, bosses her around. It makes me so sad Riley on the other hand is the complete opposite. He plays with her and is way more patient with her.

Do they act jealous, over bearing, or loving? Sierra shows jealously and lovingness...Riley never acts jealous, he's a good big brother to her!

How often each day to you have to break-up fights between them? All the time. Rawr.
