Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
The child may be feeling insecure because of the pregnancy.
Give him lots of attention and love but do not respond to his negative behaviour. Tell him social stories like pepper has a new baby brother. Reward his positive behaviour.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you
