The jump from two children to three is a big one.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will now have to get used to three little royals running around the house, as Kate has given birth to a new little prince.
Luckily for the couple, 53 per cent of parents say three children is the perfect amount.
But there are a few things they will need to do differently when raising a third child.

Sue Atkins , parenting expert for Care.com has a few tips for the royal couple.
Embrace individualism
It's extremely important in a big family to remember that every child is different.
They will all have different interests, passions, strengths and weaknesses.
This means it's vital that parents don't just treat them as a group, but treat them as different individual people.
Let the older children help with the new baby
Sue believes Kate and Wills should let Prince George and Princess Charlotte help out with their new baby brother.
She says: "It's a good idea to let older children help with your new addition, as it will bond them with their new sibling avoiding upset and jealousy later."
Don't be afraid to ask for help
A third baby means a LOT more work, even if you're royal.
Even though Kate and Wills have a lot more professional help than normal new parents, there is still a lot more to do.
Find unique ways to help your children bond with the baby
Some children will fall in love with their new baby brother or sister straight away, but for some it's not quite as simple.

Sue says: "Some children are natural baby lovers and it will be love at first sight. But also remember other kids can feel jealous of having to share your time and attention….. nip sibling rivalry in the bud. Create the ‘We Team Mentality’ in your home and watch your family flourish.
Try to spend time with each child individually, but don't be to hard on yourself
