When Our New Baby Comes

Reach for this book when your older child begins to show signs of anxiety, displacement, or curiosity about the upcoming arrival of a new sibling. It is designed to create a safe space for the complex, often contradictory feelings of a big brother or sister in training. Through its gentle narrative, the story acknowledges that while a new baby brings joy, they also bring noise, mess, and a temporary shift in the amount of undivided attention a parent can provide. Appropriate for toddlers and preschoolers, this book helps normalize the range of emotions from excitement to mild jealousy. By validating the older child's experience, it provides the comfort and reassurance that their place in the family remains secure and special even as the household grows. It is a wonderful tool for opening a dialogue about what to expect on both a practical and emotional level.
