Pregnant ! How to Prepare Your Children for a New Baby

I'll start off this article with one of my own personal experiences of sibling jelousy.I was 4 years of age and I remember the day most deffinately.All the family had come round to see my new baby brother.No body took me on and I hated it so in them days he wore terry nappies and a pin so i took it out of his nappy whilst no one was looking and jabbed him with it.He screamed like anything but I remember the fuss they made of him but not me.

Whilst you are pregnant if your children are in a position where they understand read them stories of new babies.Let them help in preparing the babys room.visit any friends who have a new baby with your children.when baby has arrived let them come to the hospital with a present for the baby but also buy a present from the baby to give to the other children.

Toddlers around 18 month can become withdrawn when a new baby is around, they may pinch poke or hurt the baby to get your attention. When you arrive home fuss over your other children and let your partner or friend look after the little one for a short while. The baby will getlots fuss form visitors, but you are there to give extra cuddles to your children who will have missed you whilst you were in the hospital. spend quality time with your toddler.Give your children lots of cuddles and love to show them there is enough love to go round. Let them become involved with the care of the new baby ie pass me a nappy, put that in the bin.preparing for baby's bath time etc.

Make sure when you can get some rest.Reading stories whilst your children sit around is a good way to spend time with your other children.Plus you can also look at the book whilst feeding baby on your knee.

Can anyone thing of a good song for a big sister / baby brother?

Every year my husband makes a video of our children made up of photos and videos of the past year. This year we had a baby boy and I can't think of a song to in honor of our daughter becoming a big sister to her new little brother. Any ideas??

I personally love the songs 'Lean on Me' by Bill Withers or 'With Arms Wide Open' by Creed. I've used both of these songs in videos I made for my new little brother, so I hope you guys like them too. I hope this helped! =]

Should we give away your baby brother?
