We are 4 months in and our 2.5 year old still refuses to take photos with her sister 🫣 One thing that helped her get mentally ready was carrying around a baby doll of her own. “Look, mommy is changing baby’s diaper!

One thing we did was take our oldest to “big sister” classes. She learned a bit, but most importantly she got a “big sister” certificate to mark her as a helpful and responsible big sister. She took that very seriously

Congrats, Corbin! We got #1 several "big brother" books, made him feel like he was part of the excitement with the new baby and had him help out with small things like setting up room or unboxing diapers.

Congratulations 🎉 A friend w/older but same same age diff kids as my two (2yrs) shared that what saved her was getting the baby on the toddler’s schedule. Take the baby to play dates vs staying home for naps etc. Baby learned to sleep on the move and the toddler felt less like she was losing out to the baby demand

was a struggle at first, he eased into it; kids are people too, give them time to process their feelings, hear them out, reassure them, Your actions over time will give them comfort and make sure they feel loved and not forgotten

Congrats! When people met the baby, I'd redirect to my older kid and have him introduce her as his little sister. Probably a little awkward for the adult but it made sure my son got the attention first before the baby.

Our newborn daughter gave our 3 year old a gift when she arrived. Obviously we picked it out, but it was an ice breaker. Dunno how well that actually worked but they sure love each other at 2 and 5.
