Question

I am expecting baby number 3 in October. My daughter Layla will be 19 months by then and I'm worried about how the arrival of 'Bumba' (my pet name for baby as I don't know sex) will affect her. She's a real mammy's girl at the moment and I'm looking for tips/ advice on how to make her feel at ease about this 'intruder'. I have a feeling she's going to be a tad jealous so any advice will be greatly appreciated.

hi i find that letting your toddler help you when you are sorting your baby out helps them feel not left out. ive got four children all really close together in ages and when i was changing babys nappy i use to ask them if they could get me a nappy or the baby wipes and not of mine have felt left out or jelous as i use to have a little play with there toys when baby was asleep.
