Hi
I was wondering if anyone can give me & my husband some advice, i had a baby on xmas day and have an eight year old boy with ASD & Dyspraxia. We understand that it would be difficult for our son to accept the new baby he would not talk about the new baby when i was pregnant, he was upset enough that i was not able to spend xmas day with him which i begged for on xmas eve when the hospital wanted to keep me in to induce me because of complications.
Since we brought his little brother home he has done little things like put a teddy at the side of the baby when he is crying, handed me nappies but refused when have asked him if he wants to hold the baby, when we have bathed the baby he has ran in and out of the bathroom to look but once again refused to help, zach has always been a good sleeper will go to bed at 7.30pm if up for school and sleep through until 7.30am the next morning but since his little brother has been home he is finding it difficult to sleep often not going to sleep while 11-12pm, its his first day back at school tomorrow and he has not gone to sleep yet and i know he will be grumpy & destructive when tired, he has asked me not to bring the baby to school but my husband will be going back to work in a fortnight and im dreading when i have no choice, all advice i have obtained off the internet says to involve him in the babies life which we have tried but to no avail am i being impatient and give it time please help
