i'm 34+3 at the moment and dd will be just 18 months when the baby comes, was wondering if anyone with a similar age gap could tell me what to expect behaviour wise from her once the baby comes?
she gets an awful lot of attention at the minute as i don't work and has suddenly become quite clingy with me the last week or so (sensing the baby's imminent arrival maybe?).
i'm planning on bf-ing baby but i remember with her i was practically glued to the couch for the first few months and i'm worried about how dd's going to react to that, not to mention the fact that she'll probably remember bf-ing herself as i only stopped at 1 year and it might spark even more jealousy.
please tell me i'm worrying about nothing and she'll adjust quickly!
