Just teach them to be gentle and not to rough up . Playing with each other. Sharing and being kind easy like . Tell them the baby can break and to be easy on the baby . Toddlers tend to be a little hard on.
100% toddler behavior. He couldn’t have been playing that the stuffy was giving the baby a kiss. If your concerned for the future, just bring one of them with you. I wouldn’t be too concerned about it.

Normal…my almost 2 yr old does this all the time to her 10 month old cousin. She tells me “Madmad play with it” she is always trying to stick everything right in her face. We just remind her that when we give babies toys we put it where they can reach but not in their face.

Don’t make a big deal of it they may do it again to get attention from you. Monitor the TV program s they watch.

l would ask him what he was doing??..did he see this on a TV show or movie?? …someone being suffocated with a pillow…does you child seem jealous of the baby?..has he done anything dangerous like this before? …or does he have a cruel streak?..my kids never did anything like that ever.

When my second was born my then 3 year old son did the same thing with the pillows on the couch.I think its normal. He was very jealous when his brother was born. We did have to tell him off though & tell him how dangerous it was because baby could suffocate. He soon stoped doing it all together, was just a stage i suppose.
If someone knocks on the door.
When answer just say excuse me for a second.
Either put baby in cot etc for a few minutes rather then keep them together unsupervised.,
If I need to go to the toilet etc I also would sit the baby in a cot etc to seperate them. Or if bubs is asleep in rocker or something in the area ur sitting then answer the door with the toddler.
Just teach toddler to be nice an not put toys on baby when ur in the room an teach safe playing

To be fair it doings like he was sharing his toys bless him, he’s not trying to suffocate the baby! He’s not at an age where he understands things from another’s perspective so don’t worry. Just teach him to be gentle and show the toys and put them.next to the baby.

My 1st tipped my 2nd out of her Moses basket for the hell of it 
he was 1 and didn’t know she was a baby, just saw her as a bit of furniture for the first year of her life! My 3rd is now 4months old and they forever put toys on him “to cuddle” Just explain the baby is so so small and can’t have big boy toys yet!

It’s a common behavior of older siblings in the toddler stage. I swear my 2 and 3 year old used to have meetings by the toybox on how to take out my youngest when I first brought him home 
all jokes aside, you just have to help him understand that that will hurt the little one and its not ok. They don’t understand at that age consequences or the harm it would cause. You need to keep a close eye on them, and help him understand. If you must leave the room for a few moments take baby with you or put the little one out of reach in a pack and play.

I’d say the toddler didn’t know he could have hurt his sister and probably didn’t mean any harm. Probably shouldn’t be leaving them alone together like that anyway. He’s just a toddler.
Toddlers don’t understand how they can hurt a baby, they merely see what they do as trying to help. Which is why it is advised never to leave a baby alone with a toddler or small child.

My two year old puts the pillow over my face and laughs his head off when I can’t breathe 
Normal. Older baby was just trying to share with baby with out fully knowing how to share with baby. My oldest daughter use to do stuff like that or try and cover her sister up with blanket and such. (They are 23 months apart now they are 13 and 11) my 3yr old is nervous around her 3 month old sister but she tries to help with blankets and toys and even her toys (she doesn’t even share with her older sisters lol) these two are 3yrs and 2 days apart. You just gotta explain to the older one to be gentle and thats nice for sharing but next time share like this (puts toy in baby hand or on feet if baby is sitting.) That’s what my 3yr old does if 3 month old is in bouncer she will ask (like I said she’s nervous around her) if she can share the toy or shake the hanging toys for sister and ect…

Normal. In his lil mind he was trying to make her comfortable probably and just don’t have the coordination of no how to put them under her head yet. Remember his mind is not grown as yours so he thinks about things way different and innocent. When they do what you perceive as bad, they are just learning and trying new things. Gentle teaching is all he needs.

100% normal. The toddler doesn’t need therapy, but your reaction to this incident gives me a feeling that you could possibly benefit from it. I don’t say this in a negative way AT ALL! We’re a therapy family, and it’s incredibly helpful for us! Your feelings are valid to be initially a little startled, but how we react to our kids doing normal kid things is important. It’s ok to seek help, especially when you’re feeling a little overwhelmed.

One time I was in the bathroom and the baby (6m) started to cry and then the cry was muffled. Finished up and came out to see that my toddler(3y) had draped a baby blanket over his little brother’s head. The baby was in his bouncer so essentially he turned him into a tent. He thought he was helping his brother to stop crying. I just explained that putting the blanket on his head isn’t nice and he should dance or sing to baby brother instead if he wants to help and I haven’t had any more issues. I think toddlers are most of the time trying to help and just don’t know they are doing it wrong or don’t understand they are stronger than the baby.

Totally normal. Once, when my oldest was 2 and my middle child was 6 months old, my toddler almost threw a jug of change into the playpen at the baby. My toddler at the time was fascinated by the noise the change made when he rolled it around and decided his brother would want to play, too. Luckily, I caught him just as he was about to throw it onto his napping brother. Now they’re 14 and 12, and we still pick on him about how he almost smashed his little brother with a jar of change.
Please don’t let the mean judgey comments discourage you… obviously not one time did she say she wanted to put her child in therapy… what I focused on the most here was “I am so upset I don’t know what to do” for some of you that vulnerability must have been a sign to kick her while she was down?? But mama you did the right thing by asking for advice from other MOMS who are here to help support each other (at least that’s what I’m here for) and to answer your question myself… you know how when a small child tries to show you something they place it directly in your cornea? That’s what your toddler was probably doing to the baby lol just try not to leave them alone and redirect them when necessary. Motherhood is a b!tch sometimes lol none of us are perfect at it. Not a single one 
Therapy lol your child is a TODDLER! they’ll know what’s right from wrong as they grow older. Your toddler will learn it’s not nice to do that. Just keep an eye on them and teach them it’s not nice.

My nephew new born age, and ex sister in law was visiting,
He would not stop crying no matter what we tried. My 1 1/2 year old, when to her room, got a pair of socks…… yes she was going to put in his mouth to shut him up…
Next time take one of them to the door with you
very normal for a toddler
A TODDLER does not understand the dangers nor do they know what theyre doing. Your toddler isnt being harmful. You’re overreacting with thinking your child needs therapy or help. I’d start being concerned and afraid if he’s malicious, but he’s simply trying to share with the baby. Stuffed animals are the toddlers fun and enjoyment, so they probably want to give to the sibling.
You are to NOT leave small kids alone, let alone with each other. They do not understand dangers.

Never leave young kids unattended, take one to the door with you. When I asked God for children I found out God has a sense of humor. He gave me the two little souls that couldn’t get along, that He had to keep at opposite ends of Heaven, for my very own. My children are 16 months apart. The day their father and I brought our baby daughter home from the hospital when she was born, I turned to hang up coats after setting the baby carrier on the couch to find my 16 month old son, stealthily climbing the couch, Fisher-Price rattle in hand, preparing to smash his sister in the face! Only my startled squawk of “No!” Stopped him. He looked back at me, astonished. He thought what he had planned was perfectly reasonable. I had been gone too long. He tried to beat up his sister at every turn, all the time they were growing up. I didn’t dare turn my back if I could help it. When they got older, my daughter would retaliate. She had one of those toy brooms that comes with a little girl’s housekeeping play set. She got that out, cracked her brother in the back of the head with it, hid it behind the couch, and when he went for her, she started screaming and crying. I flew into the room from the kitchen, prepared to punish my son for attempted murder, and he started yelling that she started it. I stopped and looked at her innocent, too innocent expression, caught sight of the broom, then set them both in chairs for fifteen minutes. Later, when they were in school, my daughter started coming home from school starving hungry. She’d eat a snack and still eat a full supper. My son would come home all messed up, like someone had beat him up. I was ready to go to some kid’s parents’ house and raise the roof, but decided to quiz my daughter first. Turns out she had been paying one of the older boys her lunch money to beat up her brother because he had been giving her a hard time at school. I started sending a check to school for lunches, and my son was grounded for causing his sister grief. The conflict continued until they were almost grown. Then, in high school, they started getting protective of each other. They would verbally pick on each other, but no one else had better give them trouble. My daughter had a tendency to have problems with some of the girls she went to high school with. She would mouth off to them in frustration, they would borrow their parents’ cars and drive to our house to beat her up. My son used to stand sentinel on the front porch, shoulder to shoulder with me, to scare them off. The moral of the story is, you may find you have two little souls who don’t get along. Watch carefully. Try to keep a sense of humor. Love them both with all your heart. They will come to love each other.
Omg yes it’s very very very normal. It’s odd to me that you’re first instinct was therapy. Why? What??? LOLLL toddlers have absolutely no clue what is right from wrong. It worries me that you’re thinking like this. You are in for one hell of a ride because it’s just going to get worse and worse. Do not be alarmed when your sweet little baby turns into a “monster” because terrible 2s are one hell of a ride. I think both of my kids went thru 2 years of terrible 2s. Get ready. Lol 
You basically have to train them to become who you want them to be. But before they get to that point, you’re going to go thru hell. Pure hell. And if you think what they just did was bad then I pity you deeply.

It’s normal. Your toddler doesn’t need therapy for trying to share toys or play with the baby. It’s a bittersweet moment. You have to explain and teach your toddler about not covering the baby’s face and how it could hurt the baby but it’s sweet because your toddler wants to play and share. Everyone’s so quick to “does my child need therapy” this is definitely not the case here.

Yes it’s very normal. I wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to pick her up. Just try to be more careful when you leave him and the baby unattended.
That’s very normal for a toddler, small children don’t understand that they’re going to hurt them until you explain it to them multiple times and teach them how to properly play with the baby. Your toddler may also try to pick up the baby so it’s ok important not to leave them alone together and also teach your toddler what isn’t safe to do.

Since I started investing it has been smooth and no complain. But I still see people complaining in one way or the other. I wonder why investing in binary trading has been so profitable to me. So I think I should introduce my manager Mrs lisa jennifer to you if you’re interested. She has been a honest woman all through and I am still investing with her till today, her strategies are mind blowing and she always keep to her promises. Invest with the right manager and there will been no more weeping. She is paying profits and you will not be disappointed.
Unfortunately it is normal 
just be extra careful!
My son when 4 1/2yrs was kicking my 1 mo old daughter then covering her face with a pillow. Needless to say I spanked him right then and told him to never do it again. He never did it again.
Scary? Yes! Normal for some? Yes. Could’ve been play, could have been jealousy, there are too many unknown variables. What you do know is that you won’t leave them alone together (for awhile). My older son was a turd toward his younger brother…three years apart. We had a phase to get through. Mom: toddlers don’t need therapy. You are the best teacher available to your child.
Normal. We play with our almost 3 year old, and throw pillows and blankets at him. It’s a game for us, but he got to where he wanted to do it to his brother and he’s but to be a year old snd we had to teach him that he can’t do it like we do. My MIL has told me stories of my husband’s older brother throwing stuffed animals on top of my husband while he slept in the crib as a baby. It’s normal, toddlers just don’t know any better until they’re told and showed.
When I was in your position many years ago I was also worried and noticed a reoccurring theme. I did reach to a play therapist and it was extremely helpful. My daughter did have some issues and I was glad I did. Go with your gut it very well may be nothing but if it seems to be happening often or you truly are concerned I would not hesitate to get some help. Good luck.
No my daughter and nephew use to do the same thing. Just don’t say anything when she spits it out as she is looking for attention. It’s just a phase and will pass
My 13 month old is all or a sudden a turd with food too. No advice just solidarity
