Best answer:

Answer by Doctor P
In the narrowest definition, a “replacement child” is a being who is intentionally conceived because an older sibling has recently died. Such substitutes must endure the lifetime burden of competing with a lost and often idealized child. Because it is almost impossible for them to please their parents, they easily become confused and frustrated, or worse. Here’s a dry summary from a learned journal: “When bereaved parents give birth to a child or children subsequent to a perinatal death, their constructions of the family necessarily change. The subsequent child is thought to be at risk of psychopathology (the replacement child syndrome) if parents have not sufficiently grieved their losses.” “At risk of psychopathology” is a hesitant, euphemistic formulation.
