Cupid’s Advice:
Having a first baby has its own set of challenges, and throwing a second baby into the mix can be nerve-wracking. Cupid is here to help you prepare your household for a second child:
1. Prepare the sibling: Depending on how old your first child is will determine how this step goes, but if your child is old enough to understand, you need to prepare them to be a sibling. Your child will transition better if they know their role as an older brother or sister ahead of time. It’s also important that your child understands that you love them just as much as the new baby that enters your life.
