I'm writing an article for
Cosmo Pregnancy on how to prepare for baby #2 and would love to include some real-life tips and tricks (as well as steal some advice for my own preparations - only 4 more months!!). So, for anyone who's been through it, how did you prepare your first child for the fact s/he was going to be an older brother or sister? Obviously you wouldn't tell a 14-month-old the same way you'd tell a three-year-old who'd actually understand what you're talking about, so how did you do it? And did it work? Also, is there any other advice you'd like to share on how the delivery/parenting was different the second time around? How did you handle suddenly having two (or more) tiny humans vying for your attention - and no doubt a partner, family, friends...
Would love to hear your thoughts.
Cheers
