You never quite know how your other children will react when you tell them you’re going to have another baby. If they’re under five like my oldest son was, they might throw a tantrum. Children that age don’t want anyone or anything new invading their home to steal the undivided attention of their mommy and daddy. I was confident that he’d love the new baby once he was home.
Older children will love the idea of a new baby. They will want to play with the baby and protect him or her.
Baby Picture Ideas:
Get all the siblings together to see the new baby when you come home from the hospital. A group picture of them surrounding the new addition is a camera worthy event. As the days pass, let each sibling have their own special time with the baby. Snap pictures of each one holding, dressing, diapering, and feeding the baby. Sneak pictures of the siblings watching baby in the crib or playing with the baby when no one else is around.
Candid shots like these will add surprises to your scrapbook. If baby’s siblings are very young, have daddy snap pictures of you teaching them how to stroke baby’s head and wiggle baby’s hands and feet. They may even want to kiss the baby.
Scrapbook Ideas:
Each sibling should have their own scrapbook page to highlight the time they have spent with the new baby. Let them have a hand in the creative process.
Show them the pictures you took and ask for suggestions about how to decorate each page. Ask questions about the baby and journal their answers onto the pages like “What will you teach the baby when he is older?” and “What’s your favorite thing about your new brother/sister?”
Make sure you include the name of each sibling on their page.
