If you think he wants too much attention now, and you cater only to him...it's going to get much worse for you when the new baby comes. Have your boy learn how to play with his stuff and entertain himself. Later when the new baby is here have him help by bringing you diapers, holding, etc. That way he feels like he is needed instead of him needing you all the time.

No it's not wrong. You son is just like any toddler, they are very selfish, and this is normal. He may even get a lot worse when your next baby is born because he's not getting all the attention that he did. There is nothing wrong with getting a crib and putting him in there. He may scream and cry, but just do what you have to do. The screaming and crying will be a good workout for his lungs......lol. It doesn't mean you're a bad mother, so don't think like that. You'll be ok....you just need to start teaching him the word NO. Best of luck to you..........

If you continue giving him constant attention, you will never have a quite moment for your self.
After making sure his diaper is clean, put him in his pack, let him fuss, let him cry, maybe give him a toy, not something so small that he could swallow it and let him be by himself for at least an hourat a time.
Try to avoid picking him up when he is crying, that teaches him that if he cries long enough mommy will come and pick him up.

As long as he has toys that are educational and stimulating there is nothing wrong with it. I have a son that will be 2 next month and another baby on the way in Dec and I have a new deck with railings and a gate outside our diningroom door so sometimes I put him out there with his outdoor toys so I can have a few minutes of peace.

Holy moly please have someone like his dad or a realtive take him cause it's going to be WORSE later on. My son was the same way now that the new baby is here he still needs all my attention! Put him in the pack and play and do what you must. Allow him to see you and know you are still there but don't allow him to run your time.

There is NOTHING wrong with this! It isn't like you want to put him in there all day - just so you can get some dishes washed or clothes put away. It is fine. He will be safe because he is in a confined place - give him some toys, etc. Actually, it is good too because you will be helping him learn to entertain himself a little bit too. Good luck!

no it is not wrong. You need time too, and your child needs to learn how to entertian himself. Now if you leave him alone and pay him no attention for hours on end, then your wrong, but 30 minutes here andthere through out the day is okay.

The only way to get what you need done and keep your sanity is to let him go into a playpen and play he might scream but it is good for lung development and it is not wrong I learned the hard way

No let him observe you learn what you are doing. Maybe that's whyhe needs so much of your attention. Try having him with you alot over the next several days and see if his "love" for you diminishes. I think he is only trying to learn what you are doing. He thinks you are interesting so he wants to be like you.

No that is not wrong they need to learn to entertain them selves, so just continue to do what you are doing just remember to check on him a half hour later to see if he is hungry or thirsty and let him know you love him and play with him and give him something to entertain himself with.
