How to get young sibling ready?

Question

Our daughter is gonna be a year old September 15 and we are expecting our second bundle of joy. I’m 10 weeks along. She’ll be be 18 month old the time the baby arrives. Is there any way I can prepare her for the new baby in the coming months. I know she won’t completely understand it because if she. But I was just wondering if there was anything I could do.

Answer

My sister bought my niece a baby alive. The would tell her "baby, we be nice to the baby right?" And my niece would kiss it's head softly and pet it. She would point to my nieces baby pictures and say "baby" and then to her tummy and say "baby." Eventually my niece would come up to her belly and kiss it and say "baby!" She was almost 2 when the baby came and my sister let her do small task to help.. throwing the diaper away, "singing" to the baby, tummy time play and anything my sister felt she could help with and my niece LOVED it! She loves her baby brother even now at 13y.o lol she'l has always tried taking care of him.

Answer

My babies will be 16 months apart. Im working on my son being gentle by holding stuffed animals. I dont think theres really a way to prepare this young so im more working on him being gentle and good behavior thinggs

Answer

Following! My daughter will also be 18 months when my son is born! I am 24 weeks now.
I got her a Stella doll and we take turns play rocking and kissing and hugging it. I’m trying to teach her to be gentle (not that she will ever be around the baby without me.) and she knows the word baby. We also bought her a baby brother book. Not sure what else to do either!

Answer

You could read books to her about it and introduce her to younger babies.
