The New Baby Welcome

Lena Fairwood

A new sibling changes everything for the child who was, until now, the only one. This is how to prepare that small ruler for the shift ahead: what actually helps in the months before the birth, the words that ease jealousy without dismissing it, small ways to protect a child's sense of place in the family, and how to handle the first meeting so it starts something good. Warm, sensible, and grounded in how children really feel.
