Gifts for new baby to toddler and toddler to baby.

@Madeleine my daughter knows it’s not for her, or I’ll say this is too small and then she says she is a little baby 🫣🤣 Yeah makes sense, going to do the same! So I’ve heard it’s best if the new sibling gives a gift but I thought I’d do both. Baby brother gave her a Christmas gift and she was so grateful to my bump, gave a big hug and kiss and said thank you 🥰😂
I would put the focus on the new baby giving the toddler a gift rather than trying to force a toddler who doesn't understand sharing yet, to give something away they might want and making it a traumatic experience. They are already going to feel like stuff is being taken away from them, mummy and daddys attention etc! Keep it as positive as possible, at the end of the day the baby has no clue!!
@Hannah thanks for the advice. I thought a gift exchange would be sweet as my daughter loves giving gifts to people, especially if it’s something she has made so think it will get her excited but will keep this in mind and definitely not force anything xx
Everything I've bought the baby my toddler thinks is hers 🤣 I've also learnt to avoid her favourite things e.g. I won't be getting the baby bunnies or dinosaurs! Should baby also give a gift?
