Here are some tips to help both your baby and your older children feel secure and loved:
Set aside a time to be alone with your older children. Let them pick an activity they would like to do.
Tell them stories about what you did with them when they were babies.
When you are doing things with your baby, let your older children take part. For example, let them help pick out a book to read to their siblings and sit with you when you read to your baby.
Teach your older children how to play some of the games described in this magazine with the baby under your supervision.
After you put your baby to bed one night, have a pizza party or special meal with your older children.
