may wear off soon

English to Russian Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
If you have other children, the novelty of having a new brother or sister may wear off soon. Perhaps they'll ask you to send the baby back or demand attention when you're feeding. See if your partner, mum or a friend will sit with your newborn for a while so you can take your "big baby" out alone and reassure him that you love him as much as ever. And try to be patient if your toddler seems to have regressed to babyhood. It won't last long and he'll soon give up when he discovers how limiting being a baby can be.

может быстро утратить свой шарм

новизна переживаний, вызванных появлением братика или сестрички, может быстро утратить свой шарм

agree Olga Layer : хороший вариант

Спасибо!
neutral The Misha : No, it isn't a good way. You are bringing more emotional coloring into the translation than the original has - which is pretty much otsebyatina. Stick to the original.

А, да? Вы так считаете? Спасибо за комментарий!
neutral Igor Boyko : шарм тут как-то ни при чем

Почему же нет? Новизна - это весьма charmant (для всех, особенно для детей). Они же все острее чувствуют.

С появлением других детей, чувство новизны ... может притупиться.
