I have a 3 1/2 year daughter and we are deciding if we want to try for our second child?

My daughter Alaina is three years old and we just brought home her little sister, Kaitlyn, a month ago. As long as you keep your daughter involved during the pregnancy, there shouldn't be a problem. My daughter is doing great with her new sister and is a greater helper. Of course, there are going to be times that she will be difficult or clingy but just remember that this is all new for her too. Make time for you and your oldest girl to go do something, just the two of you. My daughter and I go to the park across the street while Dad makes supper and takes care of the baby. She loves going to the park with Mommy and I love being able to spend some one on one time with her. It will take some time for everyone to adjust to a new baby in the house, but it will happen and you will be able to proudly say that you are the parent of two.

I personally do not have two children, I have six month old daughter. But I might be able to help a little bit - I have two cousins that are 5 and 7 that I'm very close to. They get along very well. But the older one was so happy at her age to have a new baby (like so many of her baby dolls lol) to help take care of and hold. I know that my Aunt and Uncle had no difficulties introducing the new baby or having to deal with jealousy issues, playing rough, etc. I think now would be a perfect time for you to have another child, your first has had plenty of time to be the baby. Maybe you could ask her what she thinks about having a baby sister in the house? Wish you the best of luck!!!!!

My 2 babies are only approximately precisely 2 years aside (supply or take some days). the 2nd being pregnant grow to be welcomed, only no longer planned. i'm a stay at residing house mom and their age distinction would not look a concern at this factor (my oldest (boy) is two, and a pair of months, lady offspring is two months). i could say the worst element approximately that's that they are the two in diapers! yet universal, my 2 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous likes to help with the baby and that i think of they are going to be super playmates. i think of, in maximum circumstances, there won't be a "suited or incorrect" time to have your next new child (properly, except there is a few severe situation, of direction). I woudn't have waited any greater if i could bypass returned, i like it how that's:-)

I also have a 3 year old daughter and a new born.My 3 year old was jealous at first but the baby is 10 months old and they love each other so very much.They adjusted really quickly.

My son just turned 3 when we had our daughter. It wasn't as difficult as i thought it was going to be but that's because he understood alot and the help i received. He started to get jealous though after about 2 months. That's when we decided to "tag team" and one of us would spend time with him and the other with the baby then we would switch.

My daughter was 3 when we had her sister and she was incredibly accepting and absolutley loved her little sister. The whole time I was preg. and after she was born too. Now, they are 14 and 11 and fuss a bit but most of the time, they are great. They share clothes and they do each others hair and they are very close. I say go for it!!

My daughter was 22 months when we brought her baby brother home from the hospital. She wanted to hold him alot. She wanted (and did) sit in his baby swing and bouncer. She'd bring me the wipes box when I needed it. She loved helping with him and I often had to invent things for her to help with. Once he was big enough to feed at the table, she had a wonderful time feeding him oatmeal. I can remember days when I needed 4 spoons for feeding....1 for me, 1 for her, and one for each baby boy hand. She thought she was his little Mommy. If I'd be doing something she couldn't help with, she'd go pretend with one of her dollys. One of my fondest memories is breastfeeding my son and my daughter comming in the room with a polar bear. She told me it was her baby and it needed food. So she hitched up her shirt and popped that polar bear right on her belly button! Cause that is where babies eat from, of course! When we went from 2 children to 3, they were just as helpful. I think as long as you are happy and excited about another baby, your child will be too. Children take their direction from adults. Ever seen a little kid laugh just because everyone else is laughing? So just stay upbeat and happy and she will too.

my daughter is 3.5 also & my brother & his wife hada daughter in december & I am now babysitting for her & at first mine wasnt liking the holding & changing her diaper thing so I would ask her if she wanted to be mommys big helper & I would give her lil things like hand mommy a wipe or the diaper or other things through out the day. that was a sign for me that she may be alright with a lil brother or sister her dad & i have been wantng to give her

By experience.Have them while you are young.It is a good time to have another so that the first won't grow up lonely and can enjoy alot of things together as they grow.Nothing will happen, everyone will adjust its part of life.

You prep them up - tell her that she's going to be big sister when the time happens and that she will also be part of the pregnancy too. There's kid's book about being a big sibling - read those to her.
