I remember her teaching me and my younger brother to only touch the baby's feet unless we were holding her (assisted). I also remember the 'baby,' bringing us a new toy (just something simple) when she came home from the hospital. My mom said that the baby had picked it out, and that helped a lot! My mom also did this trick when my brother was born, but I was two, but she said it helped me a lot!Lynette @ My Craft Discoveryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075723914092217561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3470289277671688195.post-86317898143195300922011-09-14T06:59:32.879-06:002011-09-14T06:59:32.879-06:00Pretty much the same advice here, but it's imp...Pretty much the same advice here, but it's important to let the older sibs feel useful and needed. When you need something for baby, start asking Clark to get it for you. If the baby is fussy, ask Clark to come sit with you because his brother needs some brother time! Make him feel important and helpful and it will go a long way.<br /><br />We've also found that it's important to have one-on-one time often with the older kids. This became more important with baby #3 when the kids were quite a bit older, but the concept still applies. Like Jessica said, remember to put baby down often and spend time with Clark like normal. And once in awhile, leave baby home with dad long enough to take Clark out for a "mommy date" and get an ice cream cone or something. Or if you're leaving the baby home to run for a quick errand, take Clark with to show that he's a big boy. Little things like that can go a long way!Kandicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05391451673173000219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3470289277671688195.post-53641457948994098682011-09-14T05:36:18.110-06:002011-09-14T05:36:18.110-06:00Very cool and practical.

Just love on your older son as much as you can and give him lots of supervised time playing with and around the baby. He'll learn how to treat the baby and you'll be able to have pee breaks. :-) The only questionable thing I can remember my older guy doing was pulling his little brother into his fort by the arms, but baby was about 6 months then (and crawling) and was giggling the whole time. There will probably be lots of poking of body parts and facial features. Don't stress. Have lots of fun!Jennyhttp://www.knitting-jenny.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3470289277671688195.post-3421928792134615472011-09-14T04:28:08.172-06:002011-09-14T04:28:08.172-06:00When I had our second and third child, I found tha...When I had our second and third child, I found that the elder siblings adjusted quite well. The key is putting baby down, especially in the beginning. The baby doesn't know any better, and is totally fine being put down in the beginning (when all they do is sleep those first one or two weeks). Baby doesn't need to be held all the time (like you probably did your oldest). Then you still have free arm time for your other children. By the time the baby is older, and requires more arm time, your kids are used to him/her being around! <br /><br />You will still here them ask for mama's lap when you are holding your baby on occasion - but I found that was only maybe 2 or 3 times tops. Mostly they just wanted to love on baby too!<br /><br />It will be great!Jessica at Me Sew Crazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06496018948388792534noreply@blogger.com
