Thanks for all the ideas. We have talked about getting Charlotte a doll so she can do with the doll what we do with the new baby (minus the breastfeeding (there aren't any dolls that do that, they all come with bottles but that is another question for the forum)) I do like the idea that little...

Hi all, just looking for others experiences when 2nd LO is due. OH is due in January but we will be ready to go anytime around Christmas onwards. We have Charlotte to bear in mind this time too. Grandparents have said that they will look after her when we have to rush away, and it may be easier...

Charlotte has been clingy over the last week or so. We hoped that as by OH and me have been sharing the caring this would not happen. However over the last few days Charlotte has turned away from me when I give her a hug and wants to go back to Mummy. Today we went swimming and she couldn't do...
