Health Tip: Preparing Your Baby for a Sibling

Bringing a baby into the family is a big adjustment, especially for the youngest of the family who must adjust to the role of older sibling.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests:

Talking about the new baby. Even if your youngest can’t understand what it really means, it’s good to talk about it.
Sharing your excitement. Your child will start to feel excited too, simply because you are.
Reading books together about getting a new sibling.
Planning a special activity, gift or event to celebrate your oldest child once the new baby arrives.
