If your family already has a child or a pet at home, you will need some time to adjust to life with a new baby. Here are some things you can do to make the change easier:

Find Special Moments – Apart and Together

  • Make sure to spend some quality one-on-one time with your older child(ren) every day, even if it is only for a few minutes.
  • Point out the ways your older child can help with the baby, as well as the good parts of being the older kid.
  • If you have a dog or a cat, try to include the pet into your new routine: Bring the dog’s bed into the room where you nurse baby, for example.
