Newborn and toddler

Absolutely, my little girl is 2 on 6th September and I'm due on 18th. She still breastfeds and cosleeps and hasn't spent more than around 2.5/3 hours away from me. I too think she'll be amazing big sister but I have felt worried and guilty. I'm going to involve her in everything and if both they are both upset at the same time, go to your older one first, the baby won't remember but the toddler will. Also try schedule some one on one time every day, even if it's 15 minutes. We've got this mama🙏🏻💕

It's always a worry... But I have to believe that, as a family, we will adjust. The very fact that you're thinking about how to include her tells me you will do it! I think that it'll be important to have time where baby isn't always coming first, but it's a balance.

Worried as well, he is a huge Mumma's boy. Turns 2 on the 5th of September and I am due a week later on the 12th

We’re planning a home birth and I also have the same thoughts. Our little boy will get a baby doll, so he can copy what we’re doing. We’re going to involve him with nappy changes etc to make him feel needed. Should he want to be present at the birth and tge timing works, he can. But at the moment he’s rather scared of it so my dad is “on call” to take him for the time. If he’s not with us I want to make sure the baby is not in my arms when he first sees me, but with my partner/ in a crib or something so I can fully concentrate on him and ask him about his day, not make the moment about the baby. I expect that it will still feel like that for him and he’ll be upset every now and then but those are some things I imagine being helpful :)
