Frequently asked questions

How do you help an older child adjust to a new baby?
A new baby is a huge change for an older child, and a bit of jealousy or regression is completely normal — they're adjusting to sharing attention they once had entirely. The most effective approach is to make them feel important and included rather than displaced: give them a special 'big brother' or 'big sister' role with gentle little helping jobs (fetching a nappy, choosing baby's outfit, singing to the baby), and praise the role itself, not just the help. A chart celebrating their helping makes the new identity feel positive and exciting. Just as crucially, protect some one-to-one time that's just for them, so they know they haven't been replaced in your heart. Always supervise interactions with the baby, reassure them often, and accept that some wobbles are part of the adjustment. If you're worried about how they're coping, your health visitor can offer support.
