Make Changes and Plans Ahead of Time

Make Changes and Plans Ahead of Time

  • If you plan to move a Child to a new room, or to buy a new bed and give the crib to the baby, do these things several weeks or months before the new baby comes home. This way, your children won't connect the changes with the new baby and will be less likely to feel that the baby is taking things away from them.
  • No Child likes it when their mother goes away. Let your children know what will happen and who will take care of them while you are away having the baby. Try to keep your children's routine as normal as possible while you are away. If possible try to have your children come to visit you and the baby in the hospital.
  • Don't get upset if your children are not very happy with you when you come home. It may take a while for them to get over you leaving.
