New baby and toddlers?

My son was two when my daughter was born (she's 2months now). I waited untill I knew the sex of the baby, then I would start pulling my shirt up so he could see my growing belly and tell him to say hi to his baby sister. I also told him he was a good big brother. He didn't seem to grasp the concept fully, but it definately helped to prepare him for her arrival. After she was born I made sure he still got lots of love and attention and said the same things I said when I was pregnant. Say hi to your baby sister, Oh you're such a good big brother. He has adjusted quite well.

Let them help you with getting the room together for the baby. I had my children 23 months apart, and my son didn't really understand. Just don't let being pregnant stop you from doing the things you normally do with them. If for some reason you can't do something don't ever say it is because of the baby. They might take this as something negative about the new baby. Like ther baby is hurting mommy or the baby is stopping mommy from playing with me. Other than that all you can do is talk to them. There is also classes you can take through most Drs/hospitals to learn how to adjust.

I have 4 kids 4 and under(plus 3 older ones) I make it fun for them. Help them pick things out for the baby. I took them to my dr appointments so they could see the baby on the sonogram or hear the hearbeat. When the baby started to kick...I would let the kids feel it. There will probably be some jealousy issues...but I am sure your kids will love their new brother or sister.

Get story books about new the new addition and read to them at bedtime. Also get them baby dolls so you can all practice on helping out. They will be big brother/sister so will be mommys helper when the baby comes. Make sure they get as much attention as the new baby and ask everyone else to include them as much as possible.

You should start telling them that they are going to get a little brother or sister. Let them go to your dr appointments so they can hear the baby's heart beat and when the baby is born give them attention so that they don't think that the baby is there to replace them. Good luck

talk 2 them tell them that a new baby is coming into the house they should be happy unless they are jealous then they wont like the baby b-cuz they will feel that you will be spending more time with the baby then with them

get them some baby dolls & bottles even if they are boys and show them how to do things, let them help.
