Obviously I dont have #2 yet, but when we do, I plan that after DH, DS will be the next person to meet the new baby, and I want to make sure that DS1 gets plenty of time with me, DH and #2 - so grandparents etc can stay away until the next day at least. Another tip I've heard is that when DS1 see's the new baby that jealousy can arise if the first thing they see is THEIR Mummy holding the new baby, so perhaps have your new addition in the cradle/bed etc for Moo to come and kiss and cuddle?
And perhaps buy Moo a little Baby doll of his own pre birth to look after and cuddle so he has a baby too? I've heard this is a really effective way to deal with introducing a new baby.
