  Hi I had my daughters 11 months apart so I know it is hard especially when it comes to giving the right amount of attention but you can always say thier is a bby in mommy's tummy and toddlers still won't understand...until about 2.5 yrs old...I'm pregnant with my third and she knows she's going to be a big sister so...your son won't really understand until you have your baby I think

  I'm a FTM but when my sister was pregnant with her second, we would all just constantly make a big deal about my nephew being an older brother and how fun it will be to have a sister to love. I think he was around 2 but maybe just constantly talking about it? They also got him a present when my niece was born and told him it was from his sister. I think people do that a lot. Good luck!

  I got my son a baby doll. It cried ect. He would play with it and I would teach him soft touch and soft voice ect. He ended up breastfeeding the baby while I would breastfeed his sister. Lol they were 18 months apart. best thing ever was having them close together.. This one is 5 years younger than my 4th.... I am not use to that.

  I have a 1 yr old  son as well and I'm due June 17th with a little girl. My sister went through the same thing last year when my nephew was 1 and she had a little girl. Honestly, my nephew barely noticed his little sister when she was a newborn. He was busy running around and getting into things. As far as he was concerned she was a doll. Now that she is 1 and he is 3 they are the best of friends. My sister made sure to constantly introduce the baby to my nephew as "his" baby, and "his" sister. He started to seem almost protective of her and it was really sweet. I'm going to try to do the same thing with my son once I have my daughter in June. When we go to the store I point out baby doll and show him how to be gentle. I'm really excited to see them grow up together.

  My son will be 1 year 2 weeks old when baby comes, I was worried at first but now not so much. I just know I have to make sure I give him lovin' and I've already been teaching him gentle touches.

  I have a four year old and an 8 month. I'm pregnant with our third and they will be less then a year apart. New baby is due a month before our 8 months birthday. I feel like the only way I could get him ready for his new sister was to make sure he is sleeping in his own crib and use to it.
