Soon, we’ll have a brand new baby around and we’re trying to implement small changes to help Lorelei cope when her new sister is here. From a brand new “big girl bed” to some awesome toys we’ve stowed away (so they’ll seem new), we’ve been making little changes. In addition, we’ve given her more opportunities to help out around the house and to do things that “big people” do.
It was only a matter of time before we found her her own baby wrap.
Moby makes this great mini wrap especially for toddlers and young kids - although it’s NOT meant to actually carry their baby siblings, of course. The last time Lorelei actually saw my wrap out was last summer, and she was riding IN it, so she was a little confused when I first put it on her. It didn’t take her long, though, to stuff her frog - and any other random toy - into the fabric.
I’m really hoping that once Aurora is here, Lorelei’s mini wrap will help her feel included in the fun as she role plays with her dolls rather than feel excluded because I can no longer carry her, too.
Welcome back!

That’s a nice idea and I’m sure it will help. We went through this 9 months ago when our daughter was born and our 3 yr old was suddenly no longer an only child. Its getting better with time. One thing that we did was give him a gift from the baby when she was born, to try and relieve any hard feelings that he might have towards her. I find giving them a bath together also really helps to build their relationship, and they usually have lots of fun in the bath together.
The sling looks cute. We are big sling fans and used a Didymos sling with both our kids. It works really well and is still in great condition.
