some kids hate it. some kids love it. But they all come around. My daughter is so excited. but I talked to a lady the other day and her kid didn't want the baby... until the second he saw it and it was love at first site. Either way... they all come around.... don't worry..

The advice to involve your son with the new family member is good, although he's pretty young so it has to be in very simple ways.
For your peace of mind, consider this: sibling problems among younger kids would definitely be selected against as the race evolved, so, although some competitiveness is to be expected, it's generally pretty rare for it to be serious.
As far as not having your husband on hand: It's likely to require more work to help your kids progress and to help them adjust to him when he's back. But I think you'll see that it works out. Good luck.

Well, it always depends of course. But I went through the same thing, my kids are 21 months apart. I conceived my second child 2 days after my oldest turned one. So, what I did, and you should try it, was get him so excited by telling him, he is going to have a little baby brother to play with and he could teach him how to play with the cars and so on and everyday i would dop it again and i would let him hug and kiss my belly and he would talk to it and sing to it. and every morning he would say good morning to my belly and everynight he would say good night and give my belly a hug and a kiss. I hope it works for you. Good Luck and Congradulations!!!

hi,well my brother has a 2 year old and a 6 month old and because sky was the only child in the family we thought that when abi was born that it would be hell but not at all sky loved getting nappies and holding abi all the time kissing her it was great and so unexpected as long as the older child is involved it is fine just find little things that your eldest child can help with so he feels grown up to help the baby.

Your husband might not like this idea, but it has worked for a lot of other little kids...buy him a doll to play with at home that he can carry around. Show him how to hold it and get a play bottle and show him how to feed his "baby". My son was about the same age when I found out I was pregnant and he loved playing with his doll.

Make sure you involve your son with the new baby so he does not feel left out.
