Hi everyone. Im only 17 weeks with my second baby, but i already have fears that our 13month old son will be really jealous and mean to the new baby. Any advice? :(

My son is turning 4 amd we've included him as much as possible. I had am ultrasound today and we found out the sex when we showed him the picture and pointed out different features and told him the baby's name he decided he wanted it up in his room.so we went and picked out a frame together and put it on his dresser for him to see.

When I was pregnant with my daught my son was 2, I told him that it was his baby, he had to help with hia baby and love his baby. It worked really well, he called her his baby and did everything he could to help take care of her and was never mean or jealous of her.

Its not exactly easy with how young your guys baby's rime was the same 17 mo when we bright home baby brother and he would freak sometimes and be a Lil jealous but we toifht him that his brother loves him and how to be nice and now a days he gets upset when his brother and him are not together. They will be confused and a Lil jealous just try to keep them involved if you can and remember that although your tired you still need to cut out maby movie time with just you and them good luck ladies!

Good afternoon. :-) ...I have been worried about the same thing. I'm 19 weeks with a 14 month old and alot of older people and some of my recenty preggy friends have advised me to include my daughter in on everything and that I need to let her help out with the new baby so that she feels included and happy about being cheered on for being a good big sissy.  Don't know how things will play out but I'm going to try their advice...they all said that worked for them.

Best wishes and congrats!!
