My first will be a little over 2 when her baby sister is born. We are due May 14th and also very nervous about how she will handle sharing mom as she is a major mommas girl. 🤞 that if there’s jealous, it passes quickly
Same here! Due May 21 , & my first is turning 2 soon. I’ve been reading up on how to incorporate her in doing things with baby, not blaming baby if we’re ever too busy (ex. “I can’t [play, read, help], right now because I’m with baby”) , and making sure to still give her one on one time with us. It’s been one of the things I’ve been trying to figure out too! 😭
Yes! My daughter will turn 2 just a couple weeks before my second daughter is born. I’m excited for them growing up together but I know there will be a transition. I know it will Be an adjustment for all of us in the family. I’m planning and hoping to find ways to spend one on one time with my older girl so she doesn’t feel the baby replaced her or is an excuse if that makes sense.
Yes my first will be 3 in July right after he’s born in May! We are nervous too. But it should go great.
Hey mama! I have a 15 month old and I’m due around May 30th. Honestly I was scared, but he’s gonna be such a great big brother. He went from pulling up my shirt for boobie to now just pulling up my shirt just to see my big belly. He’ll give her kisses and he helps me rub my lotions and creams into my belly. He’s so happy to participate. I used to be so scared, but I can tell he’s getting ready for his sister to arrive. We’ve bought him baby dolls mainly baby girls and he takes care of all his babies 🥹
I’m pregnant with my 3rd baby now and I had an extremely hard time when I had my second baby and my first baby was 2. I will say, getting a stroller that can fit your baby’s car seat and has a seat on it for your toddler will be a complete life saver! My toddler really liked helping with his baby brother and it was super sweet! I did not notice my toddler being extra clingy or jealous, but all kids are different. The first couple months were extremely challenging, but once I got a routine it wasn’t as bad. I definitely recommend getting a routine started sooner than later. Keep your support system close, and take the help if you need it.
Yes! When my son is born, his big brother will be 2.5 too! I'm due may 14th. So nervous about jealousy & just hoping including him will help ❤️
