How did your kid cope with sibling? 👶🏻

Question

I’m due baby in 4 weeks time, my son is 5 years old. He’s just started school this year and since starting school I’ve noticed a huge attitude change😑 which is making me so anxious for when baby comes? I’ve got so many worries going round my head, will I cope? Will he like the baby? 
Just looking for some experiences of kids with similar age gaps? 😊

Answer

My closest aged kiddo is going to be 7 at the beginning of the year, he's in first grade and this is our first year I've noticed the biggest attitude change lol he also has gone through becoming a big brother at 3, so this time around I'm not as worried about him doing it again, it's my current 3 year old I'm most worried about 😬
But one thing with my 7 year old, when he became a big brother it took a couple visits at the hospital to get him to hold the baby, he just didn't know what to do with her. Once we took baby home, for awhile he just kind of ignored the baby lol he wasn't mean but he didn't really care which could have been his age idk? Once my daughter got older they became best buds, now that my daughter is a hellion herself they are now best frenemies depending on the day 😂 
I honestly think your boy will adjust fine! It might take a week or two for everyone to find the new groove of the changed family dynamic but I promise it doesn't last too long! ❤
