When you’re about to welcome a newborn into the family, it can be easy to get caught up in all that there is to do in preparation for the big day.  From shopping for baby clothes and toys to getting that nursery set up for baby’s arrival, there’s no doubt that those nine months can pass by rather quickly!

However, apart from preparing for the arrival of your new bundle of joy, now’s the time to make your daughter feel more special now than ever – after all, she’s about to become a big sister, and if she’s been the only child for some time now, she might have a rough time handling the big transition from only child to big sister!
To make the transition smooth on your daughter, here are a few expert tips from childcare experts on how to get her excited for her upcoming role as Big Sister:

Get Her Involved In The Process. Sometimes getting your daughter used to the idea of becoming a Big Sister is all about discussing what it’s like to be one.  If you were a big sister yourself, talk about how much your younger sister looked up to you, and what it was like to always have your best friend around when you needed her (even if that’s not exactly the truth!).  The more you talk about what an important role she’ll play in the newborn’s life, she more excited she’ll become for the baby’s arrival!

Treat Her To Some New Things.  Your daughter might be feeling a little left out due to all of the activity around the newborn, especially when it comes to all of the new toys and clothes that are being bought for your new bundle of joy!  Make your daughter feel special by getting her a treat to let her know that she’s special too.  For an added bonus, order her a special Big Sister Shirts that she’ll wear proudly wherever she goes.  She’ll really appreciate the gift – and she’s love the attention that she’ll get when people ask her about her new upcoming role as a big sister!
