As a mother of four children, I’ve had to prepare toddler siblings for a new baby three times. The first time around, I just had to prepare myself and that was a challenge enough! https://lisaforsythe.com/2021/07/20/preparing-toddler-siblings-for-a-new-baby/

2. Preparing toddler siblings for a new
baby when they can't communicate
adequately is one of the most
difficult things. You must be ready
for the arrival of a new baby. Here
are several reasons why you should
prepare your toddler siblings for the
arrival of a new baby.

3. Baby should be carried in a soft-
structured carrier (like an Ergo baby
carrier). Allow your toddler to assist
you, and teach them the importance
of being gentle. The transition can be
made easier with the support of a
toddler.

4. To accomplish this, simply take a book and
settle in as comfortably as possible to
read a story to your kid, who would sit by
you while you ate. It was common to
breastfeed while putting older children to
bed. Scratch the back of the older child
with one hand while breastfeeding and
humming a song.

5. Place the newborn in the water hammock
while the toddler sits on the other side of
the baby tub. It would allow the toddler to
bathe the baby's feet and legs with a
washcloth. Bathing them together also
cuts down on overall bath time, and kids
enjoy it.

6. Though it's impossible to make the
younger child's first and third naps
coincide with the older child's, the
lengthy nap allows both children to
sleep at the same time most of the time.

naps

7. Make an effort to spend quality time
with the infant while paying greater
attention to the older children. When
the focus was no longer divided
between two children, but three, then
four, things became more problematic.
In our house, though, connectivity has
always been a top focus.
