Banana feeding technique and birth order

Somehow she manages to be completely present in the conversation at the same time as she feeds the baby with a banana without hardly looking at him. My lovely friend with three lovely children. The banana feeding technique is a skill she has practiced for the last five years. With number three it is possibly the lack of adult conversation that drives the need to make the baby understand that he can't have her full attention all the time. He is used to sharing her and he doesn't seem to take it personally.

No wonder we grow up with different characteristics following the birth order. The first baby being given the full attention all the time. The household is practically run by the first born. Until there is a number two. And a number three. The roles change, different group dynamic and from a chaotic situation the new conditions are slowly settling in. A family striving for harmony, balance and efficient team work in a perfect match. Family FIRO.
