my 2 y/o cannot accept our newborn baby.

my 2 yrs old daughter is having a hard time accepting our newborn, anybody who had the same experience?Please help me on how to cope on this and if you've experienced the same situation how long does it took your toddler to accept the new addition to the family. Thankyou.

It takes time, because ur daughter felt that her attention given was taken away by newborn. Get her involve in taking care of baby. Instill a jiejie role for her. Carry her to see the new born, and not touching the new born, it helps her to understand that she is a priority too. If the newborns cry, ask her "what shall we do now?" then carry her to newborn and say, ohhh... Baby poo poo, lets change baby diaper etc. It will take awhile. When she eventually aak u to carry baby, u say "no.. Mummy tired, don't want to carry." so she understands baby is not ur world. Slowly.. It may take months or even years depending how manja ur gal is.
