Something useful that 2nd time mum shld know!
**It's a long winded post as It's only suitable and useful knowledge's for 2nd time mummies.**
We may be bursting to share the good news, but a youngster who's about to be "replaced" by a baby, as he sees it, may be less than thrilled.
# DO tell your child about the pregnancy, and definitely break the news before he hears about it from someone else.
# DO both tell him you love him.
# DO make him feel special.
# DO help him become more independent in feeding, toileting and other daily needs.
# DO organize things for the labour and birth. a trustworthy person he knows will need to look after him, and he'll have to know what the arrangement is well in advance of that time.
x DON'T tell him too soon - nine months is an eternity to a young child. the younger your child, the less likely he is to notice your bump, so the longer you can wait.
x DON'T tell him you're having another baby to please him, for him to play with or because he's such a good boy. it's not true, and he'll only blame himself if things go wrong.
x DON'T tell him he needs to be big and help you with the new baby. being big may be the last thing on his mind - when the baby is born, he will probably prefer to be small again.
x DON'T plan to toilet train him, start him at playgroup, swap bedrooms or move him from his cot just before the baby arrives. he will have enough changes to cope with after the birth
.x DON'T burden him with the side-effects of pregnancy or how tired you are. he'll be upset for you, may feel guilty and could be more likely to resent the new baby.
AFTER THE BIRTH -
If you're going to be in hospital for several days try to arrange for your child to visit you and the baby as soon as possible after the delivery.
When your toddler visits, have eyes only for him. Ideally, the baby should be asleep in the bedside cot. Make a fuss of your toddler until he asks about the new baby. Only then show him his sister, but not paying too much attention to her. Make his visit short so that you can attend to your baby once he's gone.
Bringing the baby home Try to help your toddler to feel secure and bond with the new baby.
- When you greet him, make sure someone else holds the baby so that you are free to cuddle him.
- For the first few minutes give him all your attention.
- Give your child a present from the new baby, something that he has really been looking forward to.
- In the first few weeks set aside some times when the two of you can be together without any interruptions.
Involve your child in the new baby's bath times, changing, and feeding times. Get him to fetch and carry and intimate your loving sounds with lots of ahhs and ooohs and words like "softly", "gently". Describe everything that your new baby is doing so that he can get to know her and relate to her.
- A newborn baby has a well-developed grasp reflex. Put one of your child's fingers into her hand - she''ll grasp on to it very tightly and he'll interpret this as love from his newborn sister.
