We are a site dedicated to meeting the needs of mommies and daddies. Prepare your child for the new arrival from the very moment that you give him the news. When you tell him that he is going to have a new brother or sister, let him know that this is his baby, too. During the remaining months, continue to speak of the baby as his. Encourage him to talk to the baby inside mommy's abdomen.
Children have a great imagination.
When shopping for baby items, allow your child to help you pick them out. Just before birth take your child out to get his own special gift to bring the baby at the hospital. Don't be surprised if your two year old picks out a matchbox car. Gently explain that it could hurt the baby and guide him to another toy. Enthusiastically greet your child and ask if he is ready to meet his brother or sister.
