I just had a baby and my 2 year old seems to have changed overnight. Shes constantly throwing tantrums - misbehaving - answering no to everything - always throwing her food on the floor - sitting in the baby and worst of all - hitting every little and sometimes not so little kid that she comes in to contact with!

Is this all just jealousy that will eventually go away - or is there something more going on here that I'm missing??

I need help BIG TIME - I cant handle her anymore!!!

(P.S. are there any there any Jewish parenting classes?)

Sigh. Yes, completely normal. And not fun.

Only advice - try to give your toddler as much attention as possible.

Yup. Make Mommy and toddler time. No baby. Then, bring baby back in, little by little, like feed baby while reading to toddler.

Also, let toddler feed baby, bring toy to baby to make him/her responsible as well.

My toddler also liked to help with baby's bath - let her hold wash cloth and wash baby's belly gently.

Don't worry. completely normal!
ds #1 didn't stop screaming when I had ds #2
make her help you with the baby and she will forget she once has been the only one at home
