Cupid’s Advice:
It’s best to prepare your first child for a sibling instead of just letting it be a gigantic surprise. A smoother transition for everyone, here are some ways to get your daughter or son ready for the family addition:
1. Take the time to explain: Sit down with your first child and explain that you will be having another baby and what this means to them. Make sure to let them know that you will still love them just the same, but that they will have to share your time in the future.
2. Involve them in the preparations: Make sure that your first child feels a part of preparing for your second child. If you’re decorating a new nursery, have him/her help pick out the paint, wallpaper, or bedding.
3. Visit friends who have infants: One of the best ways to prepare your child for a sibling is to visit friends or family members who have a baby in their household. Introduce your child to the baby and explain that you’re carrying a similar one in your stomach.
