A new baby is coming!

She should get a doll that will be her baby and you can show her what you will be doing with the baby like dressing it and feeding it. That way when you are dressing and feeding the baby she can be dressing and feeding her doll baby. This is what Help Me Grow recommended to us when we were expecting a second child.

Congratulations you are about to have a baby! The wonder of you are based but I think this problem is not difficult. You not do she was treated unfairly or less to the attention of parents. Let the sisters closer together from the start to arise between them emotionally that is.

Man, it's like a baby boom this year. Four of my friends had babies this year. It's always hard to avoid sibling rivalry because it will always be there somewhere, but what you can to is love them both equally, tell them that you love them both equally, and give them equal amount of attention.

congratulation to you.. For my advice,treat ur both childs with same love and care. do not discrimination. take care ^_^

Congrats. Babies are a gift from God. Love them with all your life and develop them as a good citizens with fear of God

Role-playing with dolls is very good. Show her how to hold a baby, and tell her she may only hold the baby if you are right beside her. Practice the places she is allowed to touch the baby (arms, legs, tummy) and the places she is not (head.) She might be too young to understand that the baby is inside you (does she think you ate it? lol) but once that baby starts kicking, let her feel her sister "playing" with her. Sibling rivalry can be minimized if all the children get one-on-one attention from each parent. Don't just have "family time," have (oldest) and Daddy time, (oldest) and Mommy time, and do the same for the youngest. Try to have time where one child is with grandparents and the other gets both you and your partner's full attention, and switch. If both children know that they are special and loved it will reduce their need to compete for attention. Good luck and CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations on your baby. Don't worry too much. Everyday, as your eldest sees her younger sister, she will eventually understand that she needs to be more caring. Just continue to educate her. I'm sure she'll love her little sister the same way you loved her.

Hi, Congratulation for your second pregnancy!! So your second baby is a girl also? Don't worry too much, let your eldest daughter know that she will be a big sister soon and she will have an accompany to play at home with her next time and she has to love her sister and share her toys with her. She may not understand that much ,but as a parent, you need to repeat the same words to her everyday and let her touch your tummy to kiss her coming sister. Not to forget to prepare a surpise gift for her and also your coming baby. Let your daughter know that this present is from her little sister. For sure, she will be happy. Have a smooth delivery!!

hi. congratulations to you. I think that is just normal for your first baby not to get the idea yet or understand fully what is really happening. What you could just do is to be patient in explaining to her what is inside you and who is inside your tummy. Your approach must be enjoyable so that you first born will be excited. Also, you can already tell her the things she should do as a big sister already, in a playful manner and loving atmoshpere so that you could avoid sibling rivalry in the future. Good luck to you!

wow congratulations! a new baby coming is always heartwarming for the family. For your 2 yr old baby just keep on telling her that she will now have a new sister or brother that he/she can love and play with. Let your baby touch your tummy everyday and tell him/her that there is a new baby in your tummy.That way your kid will always look forward for the day you will give birth.

hi astredido!!! i envy you!!! i hope we'll have baby soon too!!! well, i see my nephews but kuya "older brother" migo (he is 3 now) is very protective with his brother aj (7mos.). i dont think there will be sibling rivalry between them. maybe when you or the people around them keeps on comparing. who is smarter, prettier something like that. i am happy for you!! congrats again!!! have a great day!!

You are congratulation.

hello astreadido congrats what i would do is go to the store they sell books about becoming a big sister/brother and i would keep reading it to her/him every night and they also sell cartoons about becoming a big sister/ brother so they get the idea and i would get him/her involved with whats going on like let help set up the baby room and let them feel your tummy.

nice to hear that..congrats

Congratulations! I am excited for you. Two of friends are also going to deliver their first babies next month and I am also very excited for them. My husband and I have working out to have a baby but we still dont have a baby yet. It sometimes make me sad that others have babies and we dont.

To me my grandchildren are the greatest things in my life. I have three (girl 5yrs,boy 2 1/2yrs and baby girl born in Feb.). They are full of surprises. I think the boy is taking the baby the best. I do not think he knew much about the baby, except he went to see mommy and she had this baby in her arms. Mommy did try hard to let them know in her tummy was a baby. The oldest understood, but now her nose has been clipped, yet again. Sibling rivalry is impossible to stop, but as a helper i think it helps to keep the revenge less. My 2 1/2 year shares toys, understands she can not have all the toys because she may get hurt with the small items. The hugs between the kids are often with a reminder to be gentle, she is a baby.
