I don't have kids of my own but i have a slew of nieces and nephews. What i would do is try to involve him with the baby. Have him do little things like grabbing the diaper, fastening the buttons on the babies clothes with you, getting the wipey out of the box, grabbing toys. Maybe he won't feel left out and he will still be getting the attention he wants. I hope i helped you a little bit!!

@babilove my oldest was 2 when his brother came and we were training him. Now he still has isuses. And he will be 4 in may. I think he wants the attention so I decided to let him do it on his time. Be prepared if your little boy decides he doesn't want to potty train. Don't be discouraged.

Also my oldest was so happy when his brother came he wanted to help. I was worried about jellosy. His didn't shine in til our baby was about 6 months. They love eachother but they also fight a lot. I'm not sure how they will act with. #3.

I would talk to him about how exciting it will be to be a big borther! Get him a shirt that says I am a big borther! Tell him about how the baby will look up to him and how much his help is going to be neded. I am sure once he and the babe will be best buds!
