The
joyous news that your family is growing with the addition of second babies can
thrill everyone in the family, expect for the first baby. Many children will go
through a phase of jealousy and anxiety when they realize the a new baby will
be in the home. You may feel overwhelmed trying to prepare your home for a new
child while already taking care of one. As much of a happy occasion as it is,
it is also a time to talk, make decisions and to adjust life so as to
accommodate the new family member.
Luckily, it doesn't have to be difficult to accomplish this.

What's Going To Change At Home?
Talking
with your first child about the arrival of the second child will help to
relieve some of your worry and concern as well as help your first child to
understand the changes they will be facing. Regardless of how long they have
been the only child or the baby in the family, they need to prepare for what is
coming. You too need to realize that life will change. Handling two children instead of one will be
a very different experience. Many second babies are complete different than the
first ones, which can be just as worrisome for you. The best you can do is to pr babyc
epare
for change.

A
good place to start thinking about second babies and the changes in your life
will be just being organized. Since you will have two children to manage, you
will need to have a home and lifestyle that is somewhat organized so that
everything can go as well as possible. It will be especially rough during the first
few weeks of the new baby's life, but over time things will get easier to
manage. Getting organized will be harder with two children, simply because you
have more things to organize and less time to focus on the projects since you
have someone already underfoot.

Another
difference to prepare for in the coming months has to do with your time. You
will find that second babies feel like more of a challenge, but this is because
your time is shorter. Now, you need to do all you did for your first child plus
what you need to do for the second child. You may be shorter on patience
because you are getting less sleep than the first time around and you may be
unable to lock a schedule in place quickly. Meal times may change, too, which
will throw everyone off at least a bit.

With
your time short and your sleep schedule skewed, you may be tired easier. During
the first two months of your second child's life, you will be managing two
sleep schedules, two feeding schedules and you will still need to find time to
handle your other responsibilities. It
is not easy and you should expect to be tired after a long hard day.

On
the brighter side, depending on the age of your first child, you may get some
help along the way. First born children are often able to help out with the new
baby. Don't give them big jobs, but they may be interested in helping with
small things. A child as young as two or three can help with fetching diapers
or helping to pick up the baby's toys. Encourage this with your older
children. They will feel good about
helping out and you may be able to get some extra hands to handle a few extra
things while you are holding baby.

For
the first child, help them to be prepared by allowing them to ask you questions
and to talk to them about the changes they too will go through. Allow them to
be included in decisions for the baby, such as which color outfit the child
will wear. Talk to them about how they will need to share with their new baby
and what their job will entail. Insuring them that you will still have time for
them even after the second baby comes will help them to feel better and to know
they are still important to you. Make a
point to doing something special with them as often as possible. You will feel
better about it too.
