[quote=Anonymous]It isn't happening right now, but IF your oldest starts having a huge preference for Mom at 12 months of age (and you are going to have the 2nd when the oldest is 15 months) then please practice saying "Mom is busy, Dad will help you." in a nice gentle tone (not an apology tone, not a I'm so guilty I can't you me right now tone) and then have Dad handle whatever it is the baby wants (more food, the right sippy cup, some hugs and snuggles.) That isn't to say YOU should stop completely at 12 months, of course you shouldn't, but some many mothers give in and when they have a 2nd baby, the older doesn't understand that NOW she really can't help (because nursing baby, doing whatever for baby). And THAT sound of your older one's crying will make you feel really guilty! So practice if it happens before the 2nd baby is born.[/quote]
