dh and I are seriously considering ttc #2, (possibly ttc next cycle). at the moment, my ds is very much a mummy's boy. He loves his mummy cuddles, being carried in the sling, sometimes co-sleeping. I can't even go to the toilet without him calling out 'mum, mum'.
My question is, how can we help him cope when #2 does finally arrive? I want to keep things the same for as long as possible as I do enjoy our closeness and it has taken a while for us to get to this stage (trouble bonding in the early days). I want him to know I still love him just as much as always and that he can count on me for anything he needs. I don't want him to feel as though he is pushed aside just because there is a new baby.
I just don't know how he would react as he doesn't even want me holding my niece, who is 12 months old. How would he feel when I have another baby? I am so worried about it that I am considering waiting ttc until he is a bit older.
