I was given some wonderful advice about how to introduce my newborn to my older child. That was, when my daughter was brought to the hospital after my son was born, I made sure that I wasn't holding the baby when she came in. The baby was in the bassinet. My daughter came and sat on the couch. I gushed over her and told her how happy I was to see her and her baby brother was here and I wanted to introduce her to her baby brother. I brought her brother over to her, and I sat the baby on her lap and I said, "Here is your baby brother." She lit up. It really felt like this baby was also hers. In addition to being mommy's new baby, it was also her new baby. I made sure that I had two gifts that were wrapped and age-appropriate toys for my daughter to unwrap at the hospital. I said they were from her baby brother.
