DS is 2.3 and his baby sister is due in April. He loves stories - does anyone know any good ones about babies coming? Anything about breastfeeding would be good too!

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

There's a House Inside my Mummy, was my son's favourite. Can't remember the author, sorry.

"Baby in the house" and "what baby needs" (can't tell you the author as the books are beside a sleeping DS) they're really lovely explain both why a pregnant mama is acting funny and that a baby will need boob milk. (With pictures)

I found the actual language a bit advanced for DS (2,3 when DD was born) but it's easy to adapt and the pictures are great.

Yes, DS1 loved There's a House Inside My Mummy (admittedly mainly because it featured a toy trainset).

"Lulu reads to Zeki" is a lovely book (got it from Letterbox library) - talks about pregnancy & the impact of a newborn on the whole family but emphasises there's still special time for the older sibling.
