| Ours are 19 months apart and I found it useful to involve my daughter during the pregnancy. We tell her that her baby sister is growing inside mummy and let her kiss tummy good morning and good night and baby will be there soon to play with her. Maybe her temperament, but she took to her sis straight from the start, always wanting to cuddle and kiss her. Also, if possible, have grandma, dad etc., pay more attention to your toddler whilst you are in hospital, so he will not feel left out with all the excitement. We had our daughter at the hospital to see her baby sis from day 1, everyday whilst I was at hospital too. |
