Introducing A New Baby To The Family (Parenting Lounge #5)
written on 2 August 2023
The best products for you and your baby.
With a baby monitor, you can use your time flexibly, sleep peacefully at night and still know at all times that your baby is doing well.
A good breastfeeding pillow has several advantages, because it helps you not only to breastfeed, but also to fall asleep and is also suitable as a nest.
A diaper bag offers you a lot of storage space, so that you have everything you need for your baby on the go - from the changing pad to the bottle.
A pucksack gives your baby the feeling of security, like in the womb, and thus supports a peaceful and restful sleep.
Bicycle trailers can be used in combination with a baby seat shortly after birth. They are not only safer than child seats but also more comfortable.
A playpen can be very practical in everyday life! Which model is suitable for your needs, you can read in my guide.
The first bed accompanies your child for years. Fortunately, there are beds that grow with your child. I have made for you on the search for the best baby beds.
A stroller is a worthwhile purchase. But there are the most diverse models on the market. Find out which is the right one.
Radiant heaters provide your child with the necessary warmth when changing diapers or after bathing.
Side beds are very practical and offer both mother and baby a lot of advantages, because for babies, especially in the first months of life, it is reassuring to be able to sleep next to their parents.
Great post – I don’t even have one baby yet – but this is a great read!
Thanks
These are great tips. I’m currently pregnant with twins and will be introducing them to our two girls in just a few months:) Thank you for sharing!
Good luck mama! You’re going to have a full house.
Great tips! My twins were older (8) when I had their baby brother, but setting aside time for them was really important.
That is important! Thanks for sharing
Great tips and perfect timing as we have a new baby due in about 6 months.
Congratulations. I hope the transposition is away for you
Wonderful tips! I told my husband we should try for #4 so we can try these out this time around 😉
He was a no-go lol
That’s funny! We’re trying to decide on baby #3 still.
There are a lot of good tips here, I think the one I found the most helpful was to make some one on one time with my oldest while his sibling was napping. It helped him know that Mom always had time for him too.
Good idea. I have that special time with my oldest when we read books before bedtime.
These are great tips. We actually did a couple of them when we had number two. Another very helpful tip I picked up was to tell the baby “it’s not your turn” from time to time. That way your older child would understand that while s/he may have to wait from time to time, so dose little brother or sister. Learning to take turns and share from the start has made things easier.
That’s a great idea. The baby may not understand but the older child will. Thanks for sharing!
Very useful rips. When I had my second planning alone time with my oldest really helped. He also enjoyed helping me out by putting diapers in the trash. It made him feel like a big boy 🙂
Great idea!
Great tips. We brought a gift to the hospital for the new baby to give her big brother when he came to the hospital. He was instantly in love with her because she brought him a rescue bot!
That’s great!
Some very practical tips here! I have number 6 coming anytime now, and one that is only 16 months older. Having done this before, I think the biggest tip is to promote family togetherness after baby comes. Hugs, cuddles, activities done together & yes, special time with each child.
Thanks for sharing this post, good timing for me!
Nice post with lots of great information. Our oldest was 2 when we brought her baby sister home so things were really quite easy and she was SO excited to have a sister. Fun times! Thanks for sharing at the Inspire Me Mondays Link-Up!
We’re thinking about having another (if it’s possible at all). These tips are helpful. This is the third time recently that I’ve heard/read the advice about tending to the older one first sometimes, and I think that’s a great idea. It’ll also make dealing with the baby much easier than it would having an older child tantrum/meltdown while trying to tend to the baby.
I think that’s a good idea to spend quality time together with just the baby. We have a baby on the way and thank goodness my kids are all older. None of that fighting for attention! Now they will be fighting to get their little nephew.
Hi Kristen,
I am stopping by from Thoughtful Thursdays at CreativeKKids. This post is full of lots of great tips. I love the idea of giving a gift to the older child from the baby. Thanks!
