It's so that she never feels like she's prioritising Ember because that WILL NOT DO. Does she ever properly hold Ember? She's always strapped to her in a sling with her wobbly head flopping all over, in that bouncer thing or laid on her lap. She never seems to hold her in her arms. It's very odd.
The laying in the lap thing is just weird I agree, like she’s just been plonked on there, it’s like Pea is allergic to cuddling her own baby - unless she’s in the wrap! I just don’t get it, baby cuddles are the best, you need to get them in and enjoy them whilst you can!
I always think this! Wrap her up, throw her out in the garden (sure they’ve got the big french doors so can easily see her) and just let her run herself to sleepy. Or just in a child friendly way tell her to piss off and find her own activity
I know, she’s always hovering over her and always got to be with her, Raven will occupy herself if Pea is busy, give her a box and let her pretend she’s in a bloody rocket, kids live stuff like that
it does them good to play on their own, it’s how they develop their imagination and teaches them some independence. Can’t be doing with all this following her around the house watching what she’s doing.
