Thanks so much for all the great tips and advice, i am feeling a little more confident now that we can keep everything on track!

We have already bought him a baby and a pram which he adores, i should start doing the nappy thing and involving him with the baby doll abit more though. I have also ordered 'Theres a house inside my mummy' so hopefully that arrives soon and we can get reading, i have heard good things about it.

I think im just being overly anxious. DS seems so spoilt being the only child with the attention always soley focused on him i guess im just very aware of the massive change he is about to deal with, but it sounds like you have all done it well so hopefully we can too!

Thanks so much again, im sure ill be referring back to this thread often!
Good luck new mum reenie, id be interested to hear how you go! Good luck with your home birth, i wish i could home birth but im too chicken! All the best

Mine are 17months apart and we never had an issue. We were having the house remodelled when they were little and both their cots were in our room from the start. We just had a gap so the older one couldn't touch the baby.

I included the oldest one in everything and it was fine.
