Can I please have an anonymous post?
My son is a couple months shy of 2years and we have recently welcomed him with a new baby brother. Now all in all he’s usually pretty good with him, rubs his head, kisses his head and sits and will sook with his arms out for us to squat down and hold baby brother on his lap. But, from time to time he has gotten jealous, and will come up and throw something at him, try to poke him or will just be careless around him. I keep trying to tell him to be gently and nice and I try to include him as much as I can, but I wanted to get him a baby doll, so he can hold that while I hold his brother, and he can learn how to be nice and gentle etc. would it be wrong if me to buy him one without him actually asking? I’ve always seen posts like these and the mum is asking if she should buy her son the doll he wants and I think yes of course if that’s what he’s asked for. But my son isn’t even two, has never seen a doll before, and doesn’t understand very much you tell him, so I don’t want to push anything onto him, I don’t know.
I just want to know what people’s opinions on buying a 21 month old boy a baby doll? Thankyou in advance x

Go for it! I buy my boy things he hasn’t asked for all the time! It may or may not help him to be a little more gentle with his sibling, either way no harm done.
My daughter had dolls but still tried treating her brother like a doll. She wouldn’t leave him alone. He’s now 18month she’s just 3 and the tables have turned. He pulls her hair as he finds it funny.
Get him a baby and pram to see how it goes
Get him one! I got my son, same ages, a doll just before my daughter arrived so he could change dolls nappy while I changed baby nappy and he could copy me looking after her. Distracted him well and he enjoyed playing. Now 3 and no interest in dolls at all anymore lol x
A doll teaches a child how to play parent. if anything by giving a boy a doll you are raising them to be a good father. Go for it if you think it will help. Remember to Also give him some 1 on 1 attention too and the jealousy should fade
I would…it’ll show him that he’s not forgot about and he’ll have his own baby aswell…u can get some lovely baby born boy dolls with bottles and beds and stuff xx
