My 2 yo choked my 3 month girl?
Ever since I had her 3 months ago, my son who is two adored her! Always kisses her, tells her she is pretty, always wants to hold her, plays with her, and has just been an all round a great brother. I can usually go to the bathroom without problems of leaving them alone together. Today when I went to the bathroom I all of a sudden heard my daughter screaming and by the time I reached them she was choking! My son was sitting ontop of her choking her throat!!! What got into my son?! He has never done anything mean to her before!!! My daughter is fine thank gosh!

Common jealousy. Its normal (though violence is unacceptable). Keep an eye on them at all times. He DOES love her, its just confusing now that he has to share you.
Are there any mental issues that run in your or the fathers family? I only mention this because my brother was diagnosed with ADHD, bipolar disorder and he used to do the same thing to me when we were little. He would love me one minute, than he choked me the next. My mom had to take him to see a therapist and put him on medication. Best bet would be to talk to him and see why he did what he did, and maybe talk to a doctor about this before it gets worse. Glad to hear your daughter is okay. Good luck!
O lord well you just have to watch him for now on around the baby, but things like that happen because your son was the baby before she came so what it is that he is jai lest because your with the baby a little more so he'll get mad at times but it'll get better once he really understands that's his baby sister and he's the big brother !!!
That is pretty scary! I don't really have any advice for you. Have you tried to talk to your son to see what was going his mind when he was doing this? What was his mind set, did he seem to doing it intentionally, or did it seem like he wasn't quite sure what was going on. I would just keep a close eye on them from now on. Good luck to you, and I don't believe your son would purposly hurt his sister. He is still young and I am sure he didn't realize what he was actually doing.
Well, you should supervise them at all times. It sounds like your son has some serious problems.
Did he see that on tv or something? I would watch his exposure, and reinforce him with lots of verbal praise for being nice to/with her.
