I have a 9 month old boy who is my first precious little bundle of joy...but im expecting another one in Aug 19. (hopefully a girl 8->) will he b mad or jelous of his new sibling? that there might b more attention or something? he is the first grandson for both our families so he gets spoiled and plenty of attention...but the 2nd one on the way im worried he will get mad :( any suggestions or did anyone go through this??

    My son was 2 1/2 when my daughter was born. He is first grand baby also. Very much loves. I just made it a point to include him as much as possible. It was his baby coming, he got to be a big brother. Always let him know how much I loved him. Got big brother books and things. He has never been jealous, and it is sooo amazing to watch them together. They fight now and then as brothers and sisters will, but they adore eachother. My third in on the way and he is just as excited. My daughter cant wait to have a little baby to help with either!! :) Plus it sounds like your lil man isn't gonna really know much different as he is sooo young. There may be a little jealousy of you holding another baby, but that should end quickly with the excitement. Just try to include him as much as possible. Get him around other babys too if you can so he gets familiar with what they are all about! :)

    When I had my second baby. My first was a little confused. He was just 15 months old but I asked him to help with anything he could. Or watch ...just to keep him involved. He loved it!! Don't give ur oldest an open door for jealousy or feed it. It can be very difficult. But the more their involved the better then they don't feel let out. But my oldest did act out here and thete to get my attention. I lovingly responded and quickly redirected him and the out breaks stopped very quickly. Good luck

    Iam on my second pregnancy && my first son will b 2 & 2 months when dis bby is born (aug 4th) i myself am very nervous bcus my son is also the first grand bby, spoiled rotten, adored by everyone. But iam ecspecially afraid bcus this bby has a diff ddy den my son does. My bf accepts him all the way. He loves him && takes care of him az if he were his. Im afraid dat when dis bby comes my bf will act diff toward my son?! Idk. Im plannin on lettin my son help w l wateva he can && let him kno he is still loved very much...he always touches my belly && i say "whos in dere?!" & he says "bby" its sooo cute. I ask him r yu happy yur gona b a big brother && he nods. He is very playful && loves to share his toys. ..&& food. Lol. I think he will b fine. Yur son is alot younger den mine. Its gud they r close jn age tho so in a sense they can do alot of stuff togetha && enjoy some of the same things...gud luck && congrats!!

    MY daughter was 3 when I had my son, she hated him so much at the hospital she sat n the corner n wouldnt come look at him or me! There 9 and 6 yes they have moments but what a bond they have, we r now expecting #3 and everyones happy! The little ones just dont know how to take it is all they get over it very quickly!
