Sibling rivalry

Our main concern when our daughter was born was how our son going to react. But we must say he is handling it quite well. One of the main reason I think is the age gap between our 2 kids.
My son adores his sister. Wants to meet her first thing he comes back from school. Wants to help me give her a massage and a bath. Also, he keeps track of her feeding time :)))


Few things me and my husband did while I was pregnant:

  • Let him know early on my pregnancy that he will soon have a brother or sister. This helped him to get used to the idea of  having one more member in our family.
  • That he has to share his mommy and daddy time with the new member,
  • That the new member will be his own. This helped a lot.

Things we are taking care now after our daughter was born:

  • One of us is always giving time to him. So if I am feeding the baby, my husband will be playing/ talking to my son. When I get time, I talk to him , hug him.
  • Make him participate in taking care of the baby.

I hope the bonding between my son and daughter will always be there, Amen.....
