Introducing Augustine to his baby sister was something Matthew and I were both excited and nervous about. While we knew he would be an amazing big brother, we were also a little worried about how the adjustment would go. It’s incredibly common for the older child to become a little sad and even resentful at the prospect of a new sibling. There were a few things we did though that I think helped ease the transition a little bit. People are so surprised when they see how loving Augustine is with Corinna, and while I know it’s partly his personality, I do think we did a few things right in regards to their introduction. I also received some tips from other moms that I think aided in the transitional period. Hopefully, this post is helpful for any of you about to bring a new baby home to an older sibling!
