Letting Siblings Help with the New Baby

the girlsBaby Day is nearly here and I wanted to share with you my thoughts on letting siblings (especially older sisters) help care for the newest addition.  You can find me at Raising Homemakers today talking about Big Sisters and Baby Care.

  1. Great post! Our older daughter was only 2 1/2 when her baby sister was born, but we included her in caring for the baby, in whatever ways she could, right off the bat. She is the most caring, most nurturing, most loving big sister I’ve ever seen, even now, two years later. She looks out for her, tries to make sure her needs are met, cheers her on when she learns something new, and is genuinely concerned when she’s hurt or upset. And little sis looks up to big sis and loves to be with her. I hope and pray that their sweet relationship will continue as they grow up!

  2. Hey Amy,
    Tried to e-mail but it wasn’t working :( Just wanted to let you know we’ve been thinking about you guys! Miss you in church and wondering if maybe that baby had come along :) Praying all is well with you and yours!

    • Sp good to hear from you! No baby yet and I can only handle one church service on Sunday, so we’ve been going to night church. I’m sure we’ll see you soon! Hope all is well with you!

  3. Oh what a precious picture, with I’m sure a million memories! My prayers and thoughts are with you in the days ahead..delivery, you, and baby!
