When my mum had my little brother, my older brother was 14, I was 12 and my sister was 10....my mum was worried how we would handle sharing her even more (she is a single parent) but we all settled together fine and we all have such a close bond with my little brother.... we were very involved from the start and my mum made sure we felt included at the fun things like bathing and feeding!! Friends and family were also told to "make fuss of the older brothers and sisters" so we didnt feel left out at all the attention the baby was getting!! we all got Congratulations You are a Big Brother/Sister cards from friends and family which was nice when everyone came to see the baby with cards and presents! Little things to make her feel included will be great and also you and her time when the baby is asleep...even painting each others nails is great if your tired!! dont worry....every thing will be fine....!!!

Mine are 12 , 7 and 11 weeks

When I had my 2nd child I was nervous about the 5yr gap but it was fine he was unsure for a few days just because he was so small but after that I was having to tell him to stop hugging and kissing him too much


Have to say this time its I worried more coz its a different Dad (even though they both call my OH Dad now) and because the gaps bigger and Ive forgotten everything, but I think I shouldnt hav worried they both wanted a sister and luckily it was and they are brilliant with her. My 7 year old was a bit off with her when she 1st came home and I thought oh noooooo, but the next day I was washing up and came back through to find him reading her a story holding her hand and I knew then everything was ok and my 12 year old is an absoulte star helps me out so much its great
