I'm about to have a DD, and DS (aged 5) is pretty excited. I'm trying to manage his expectations (she's not going to do much other than cry/sleep/poo/feed), and make it feel like it's good for him (he's got a new room, with big boy bunk beds). But I'm worried about what to expect, and how to make the experience as positive as possible (he gets a lot of affection and attention from me, i don't know how he's going to cope, bless him!). Most of the advice I can find on introducing a new baby to a household is relevant to toddlers....does anyone have any tips for a 5 year old?
