My dd was older than your ds, (she was 8 when the baby came), so she really was my only baby for so long! I was so worried about her feeling left out and alienated. And it was hard for the first few months. Carlie's 11 months now and things are leveling off. My mom spent alot of time with Morgan 1 on 1, and my dh did the same. That helped alot! They also made it so that I could spend some special time with her too without the baby. That would be my suggestion. Also, everyone would and still do address only Carlie. And Morgan is standing there like she doesn't exist. I try to make it a point to say and "this is my older dd, she's a huge help, I couldn't make it without her" or "she's the best big sister ever". I think that has helped too. He'll transition easier than you think he will. :O} Good Luck!
