What did you do to prepare your littles ones for sibling? My son is very jealous of other kids being on me but I am sure he will want to hold the baby and stuff. I was thinking about buying him a baby doll to practice with ?

Well with my oldest I really don't have to do much. He doesn't seem to care. But my daughter I just make sure I participate for and everything mostly everything I do when it comes to her little sister.also Amazon had these little onesies that you can get in a little crayons and I'm going to get her those and I am going to have her draw some pictures for her little sister on a little onesie

I definitely want to do things to include my son in everything. Like I even feel super guilty about looking at stuff for the other baby and throwing a shower. So I think I won’t have one because I don’t want my son to feel left out or less loved. This mommy guilt is something else. I think that is a super cute idea.

Baby doll to practice is great and get some 'big brother gifts' check out Etsy for some stuff that makes him feel important. I've been taking my kids skating and bowling each weekend to keep their minds off the baby so much..

I didn’t know they had big brother gifts other than shirts. I will definitely look into this today! Thanks for that . Yes I been trying to as much as I can with my son as well. We are going on another mom and son date to the movies and lunch Friday. I don’t like talking about the baby to much around him either because I don’t want him to feel left out or like one kid is more important. It’s been so hard on me trying to get things together without feeling guilty or trying to include my son in everything .

My daughter semi cares. When I mention lil brother she says no baby sister. But I explain to her as much as I can that she will no longer be the only child even tho my SO has older children but 1 is 1 yr younger than she is. She plays well with him. But she’s very jealous of me. So with him being with us I try my hardest to let both of them know I love them very much. Once baby kJ arrives Ik she is going to open up because she loves playing with baby dolls and she’s going to think he’s a baby doll and b wanting to change his clothes and feed him. She does it at school and daycare with the babies.

Awww that is so cute! My son hates when other kids come near me or hug me lol. He always says that’s my mom. When I tell him he will have a sibling who will also have your mom he says no you my mom so I start crying because I feel bad but I know I shouldn’t.

Social stories, books, and try to include him as much as you can. My first two were the same age difference. I let my oldest pick out a present for her sister to have when she was born. She remembers that present to this day. Small things like that can make a huge difference.

Awww 🥰. I absolutely love that ! I think that’s a great idea and I want my son to have strong bond with his brother or sister. He says sister and says he has to keep her safe so that’s a good sign but then he says he doesn’t want to share mom so I get sad . Hopefully including him and doing the gift will work.

During the pregnancy I told my daughter that she is my baby and that the baby is her baby. Since day one when the baby was born I involved her and made sure she knew this is her baby and mommy need help taking care of her. Though I had to be very protective in the first few months because they are both so young, she has not had a single episode of jealousy so far. They are 2yrs 3mths apart and baby is 6months this week. Involving the big one with everything and encouraging her to give the baby hugs and kisses has helped for me. Best wishes!!!

That’s sweet. I really hope my son can be the same way with his sibling because so far I have been having guilt and feeling sad because my son one minute is happy about it and then not so happy the next. So hopefully with him being included will help a lot. I think that was also a great idea telling your daughter that ! My son would say that’s not my baby lol if I told him that .
