It can seem hard to get every child dressed, fed and bathed while still spending meaningful time with them when you give birth and have older kids at home.<\/p>\n
Your baby will be completely reliant on you for everything, including feeding, bathing and changing diapers, so you\u2019ll undoubtedly spend a lot of time taking care of your newborn. As a result, the other children can feel left out, which could spark sibling rivalry right away.<\/p>\n
You shouldn\u2019t neglect your other kids completely because of the birth of your newborn baby. Keep in mind that they also require your attention and care. How well parents handle this critical stage will substantially influence the extent of sibling rivalry and its associated effects.<\/p>\n
As a new mother, you can continue to love and pay attention to your older kids while also taking care of your newborn and keeping the family united. Here are some ideas for giving your baby and other children equal attention.<\/p>\n

When visiting the newborn baby, astute visitors who are aware of sibling rivalry will also purchase a present for the older child. If this doesn\u2019t happen, prepare a few presents for the older child to receive when guests shower the baby with gifts and praise. Let her open the gifts and play with the rattles.<\/p>\n
Give your child a role in the household, such as \u201cmom\u2019s helper\u201d or \u201cmom\u2019s assistant\u201d. This will assist in removing the child from the \u201cI wish I were a newborn, too\u201d state of mind.<\/p>\n
Your child can assist you to change diapers and bring the milk bottle and clothes which are out of mommy\u2019s reach. You can reward her for her assistance as a show of appreciation. And when a guest remarks, \u2018What a gorgeous baby\u201d, immediately follow it up with, \u201cIn fact, now we have two amazing babies.\u201d<\/p>\n
Additionally, you might request the child to sing lullabies to the baby. This encourages the child and the newborn to become closer. You can be sure that your youngster will pick up some housekeeping skills along the way.<\/p>\n

Sharing a mother with a newborn irritates the older child a lot. Since their mother is their most valued possession, sharing is foreign to young children under the age of three. Therefore, when the newborn requires the majority of their mother\u2019s attention, they are prone to experience resentment.<\/p>\n
It may sound wonderful to promise your older child the same amount of love and care, but in practice, it may not be necessary or realistic. There is a lot of upkeep required for newborns, and you can\u2019t split yourself in two to give elsewhere.<\/p>\n
To free up your hands, think about using a baby sling to carry your new baby. Then you can play a game with your older child. As an alternative, read a book together to the baby while feeding the baby.<\/p>\n
Put your baby in a car seat as the baby grows and gets older, so she can see you play with her big brother or sister. As a result, you\u2019ll be keeping two youngsters entertained at once.<\/p>\n

Undoubtedly, having a newborn means you can no longer take care of some of your family\u2019s responsibilities, like dinner preparation, laundry, ironing and picking up your child from school every morning.<\/p>\n
Using a confinement nanny\u2019s service is a smart solution. While you take the older child to school or go shopping, the lady can take care of the housework, cook meals and look after the baby. This serves as a buffer against the anxiety brought on by so many changes and uncertainties.<\/p>\n
