I don't have 2 children of my own but my daughter was 2 when I started doing day care. One of the children I was watching was an infant and she wanted to be treated like a baby sometimes. I played with her and let her pretend some of it. She nursed as an infant so never got attached to the bottle but when she saw the baby get a bottle she wanted one. I let her have bottles. She never got attached to them but it was her way of being the "baby" again and getting special attention. She is 3 and now in potty training and I have one little 2 yr old who comes every other week. We invariably have an accident on the Mondays when the 2 yr old comes. It's normal but usually regression doesn't last long. Don't freak out over it. Let your 2 yr old be a "baby" for a little bit. She will want to know that she can still be YOUR BABY and get just as much attention as the new little one. It can be hard but take as much opportunity as you can to give her the same close attention as you give the baby. Having a new little one can be taxing. I wish you good luck, strength, and some good sleep especially.
