I'm a bit concerned about how Ricky will react when his baby bro is born, he will be exactly 18 months old.
I hope to breast feed, and am also optimistic about being able to express some milk and get the baby to take a bottle, I know how hard this is though!
How did your toddlers react to a new baby, and do you have any tips on how to make them feel equally loved and have time with you?
My OH isn't very confident with babies so I think he'll be giving Ricky lots more attention, as will in laws, my parents etc cos they already feel sorry for him, keep saying 'he's still a baby bless him, he won't understand'.
I don't want there to be a situation where I'm left doing everything with the baby while others fuss Ricky KWIM?
Thanks in advance.
