rough time putting baby boy down tonight. we're t-minus ~22 days until baby #2 arrives, and he knows things are changing. we've been preparing him by talking and reading about it, but its an end of an era for us all. any parenting pro tips for easing that immediate transition phase after bringing home baby #2?

Like @adamz, I recommend giving the first child some time to get to know its new sibling. When the baby comes home, maybe the older one can have a bit of time alone with the baby, to see/smell/touch it? Often, the older child will naturally spend more time with dad in this phase, especially if the baby is breastfeeding. If possible, plan time for that. It's normal that older children fall back to old habits for some time. For example, maybe it wants to sleep in the parents bed again, or drink from a bottle that it had already abandoned. That's okay, no reason to worry. Hey... hope you all enjoy this exciting time!! Best wishes.
