Deal with it right away. Otherwise he wont understand what he is being disciplined for.

A. That way he learns that even though you are busy, you’re still in charge.

Ages 0 to 2. Babies and toddlers are naturally curious. So it’s wise to eliminate temptations and no-nos — items such as VCRs, stereos, jewelry, and especially cleaning supplies and medications should be kept well out of reach. When your crawling baby or roving toddler heads toward an unacceptable or dangerous play object, calmly say No and either remove your child from the area or distract him or her with an appropriate activity.
The REST is in that link.

A – the longer you wait, the more pointless it is to try to discipline

I would say stop nursing and deal with it. If you let it go he will think its okay to do it again, but if you show him that you will not let it be okay, then he will learn that it isnt. Discipline is a persons best friend.

At that age it has to be done as quickly as possible so they can relate the 2 events together. You don’t hae to DO anything right away, maybe just raise you voice a little and tell him to sit down in the corner until you are ready for him.

call to him tell him to come to you and talk to him while you are nursing .explain to him what he did wrong and why he can not act that way. he probally just wants you attention. not that you don’t give him enough its just he might want you all the time. good luck it gets better. mine are 3 and almost two we had the same problems but they are best friends now and share great. we are now having are third. lol good luck and congrats on the baby .

For the nursing baby’s sake, act as if you didn’t see it- you can’t split yourself in two. Then talk about sharing to the other two, when none of them is whaling and whining.

I think you should spend equal time and give the same attention for both childs because the one whos bullying his brother is jelous from him because your not paying that much attention to him so give him the same time you give to the other one and besides its natural that they do that each one of them loves there mother and love each other

A It will be easier in the long run if deal with it now! You have to be consistent and deal with it every time! You can’t just sit there and yell at him. If you tell him to do something and he doesn’t, you have to get up and make him do it. It’s worth it. Almost every time we were out with our kids, we got compliments on how well behaved they were. It made us and them feel great! Best of luck! PS Don’t put anything up, teach you kids not to touch!!

Agree with many others…definitely A. You have to deal with it right away or he won’t really understand the consequences of his actions.

Deal with it right away. If the child has respect for his/her parents they will come when called for. If they don’t come when called–I’d stop nursing find him and put him in time out until I’m finished (he/she would have time to think about what they did) then I’d go and talk to them about what happened and how it was wrong. I’d also discipline him/her not coming when called for.

children have very short memories, so I would say you need to stop nursing and deal with it. If you don’t deal with it he may think its OK next time, then you could start losing control.

If you can not stop nursing and take care of the problem right away when you can take care if it make sure to explain why the child is being punished. Also be sure the child understands. I know it is hard to explain to a 2 year old I have 2 children myself but you can say things like you pushed your brother and now you have to sit it is not nice and don’t do it again if you do you will sit again and longer. But be sure not to wait more than 1hour I don’t think a 2 year old would remember any longer than that. Also if it happens again be sure to get it right away because chances are waiting isn’t working.

I think the 2 year old is just jealous. U should explain to him why you are nursing his brother (he’s a baby, he needs someone to feed him you r his older brother u r big boy, please help me, hold him while i feed him etc…)
I think if he’s involved he won’t feel left out and get jealous
