Expecting a new baby? Here are some tips from HealthLink BC on how to help your older child adjust to their new sibling.

◇Introduce the idea that families often have more than one child. Take your child to a playgroup. Make friends with parents who have children the same age.

◇Make any major changes to your child’s routines - such as with toilet training or moving from a crib to a bed - several months before the baby arrives or well after the baby is born.

◇Read books or watch videos with your child about pregnancy and being a big brother or sister.

◇Give your child a chance to stay with family or friends before you give birth. Do this well in advance of the big event to ensure your child is comfortable being away from you.

◇Present your child with a celebratory gift for becoming a big brother or sister.
