Hi, I would actually suggest having all three of you - your son, daughter and you, spend time together, rather than spending one on one time with your son alone.Let him be a part of the process of feeding, bathing and playing with her, under your supervision of course. That might make him see her differently, and also make him protective of his little sister.You could also make him feel more responsible, and reinforce feelings of responsibility towards his sister, by telling him "Wow, now you're a big boy aren't you? Mommy will need your help to take care of your little sister.. She'll always look up to her big brother.. Can you help Mommy?" etc. Have similar sessions with Dad.My mother had done that with me, though I was a little older than your son is now - but it made a difference I feel. All the best!

 what about spending some extra one on one time with him...sometime with you and sometime with dad. also if possible some time with both of you with out the baby so he knows hes still special/important. it doesnt have to be anything special.
