Cupid’s Advice:
The more babies, the merrier! But, your first child might not think so! Here are Cupid’s tips for preparing your little one for the birth of their new sibling:
1. Talk to your child: Once the pregnancy is official, it’s important you let your child know what’s going on. No matter what your little one’s age is, it’s important to explain what’s going on. Explain that a baby is coming and that your youngster is going to be a big brother or sister. Tell your kid what to expect from the infant so they won’t be too scared by imminent crying and smelly diapers. Letting your child hear the news early on will give him or her time to accept it and get excited.

2. Spend some quality time: Before your second bundle of joy comes along, make sure to spend lots of special time with your first born. Set special “dates” with your child to fun places like a park, children’s museum, the zoo, arts and crafts studio, or other fun spots. Giving your kid special alone time before becoming a big sibling will ensure he or she does not feel forgotten.

3. Gift giving: When it gets closer to the new baby’s due date, help your first child in making or picking out a gift for the new baby. This way, your child will start to feel a connection with his or her new sibling. In return, pick out a gift for your first tot that you can say is from your new little angel. This can help your current child feel appreciation for the new baby.
