Maya was 3yrs8mths when I had the gremlins and she was totally besotted with the idea of 'her' babies, but when they arrived I think she was a bit disappointed that all they did was eat and sleep. We didn't have any major jealousy issues tho, and now she is super excited about having another baby brother or sister. The gremlins on the other hand have nooooo idea what's going to hit them!]]> Tue, 11 Dec 2007 12:40:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12872&PID=260556&title=how-do-you-prepare-them#260556 <![CDATA[How do you prepare them. : Haleigh was 21months when I had...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12872&PID=260374&title=how-do-you-prepare-them#260374 Author: MyMinis

Haleigh was 21months when I had JAmes.
We bought her a baby doll and taught her how to look after it as if it was real.
We talked to ehr about baby, and I let her touch my bump when James moved she came to the scans, midwife/ specialist appointments.
She loves James to bits more so in the last few months now he can be awake alot longe and she can actually interact with him more.
We had a few incidents of Haleigh standing on JAmes's back

and getting a bit rough with him, but she quickly realised that wasnt on.

Andrew was almost 3 when I had Josh. He loved feeling my tummy and telling everyone he met that mummy had his baby brother in my tummy.

Andrew is now asking how Josh and himself got in and out of mummy's tummy. To which I am not doing any of what was suggested in the latest Little Treasures Mag.

Kiya turned 4 five weeks before Josiah was born. The whole pregnancy, we talked with her about the "baby in Mummy's tummy", and how she was going to be a big sister. She would look through pregnancy books with me at the pictures of how the baby looks at different stages and I would get out a ruler once a week and measure on her hand/arm how long Baby was at that stage and what they were doing (growing/developing, bones growing, able to hear, able to see etc).

Kiya is a very inquisitive child, and is quite scientifically minded. She would ask rather specific questions about what Baby was doing (and how it got there!) and loved to put her hand on my tummy and feel the movements.]]> Mon, 10 Dec 2007 18:00:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12872&PID=260169&title=how-do-you-prepare-them#260169 <![CDATA[How do you prepare them. : hey there was just wondering what...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12872&PID=260100&title=how-do-you-prepare-them#260100 Author: bub
