A baby is definitely a huge family blessing, but his or her arrival also means a lot of changes not only for parents, but also for the sibling in the home.
Anxiety and jealousy are normal reaction felt by a child at any age upon the arrival of a baby in the family. He doesn't understand the changes that are occurring, particularly if he is young. The most important thing is to prepare him before the birth.
As we know even well prepared, it is possible that he changes his behaviour for some times (stuttering, thumb-sucking,...). Do not reprimand him these reactions are normal.

The sibling needs time to get used to his new role. Let him help you care for the new one gives your child the feeling that he is important and that the new baby likes him too.
More love and attention is what the older sibling expect from you. He needs to know that he still has a special place in your heart. Schedule some precious times to reconnect with your child which will be «just us» moments.
