Older Siblings Of Twins
Older siblings of twins will surely be inquisitive about all the excitement surrounding mom's belly. Priming them for the eventual arrival of their new baby brothers or sisters is a good place to start. Determining just how you will explain what's coming to older siblings depends largely on their age. Older children (around 5 years +) are generally more inclined to be helpful and understanding. Younger children, not totally grasping the situation, may vie for more attention and even act out. All children are different, of course, so attitudes will vary. Just do what comes naturally or feels right for your particular child/children.

Quotes:
"Personally, I have always thought that having a single baby before twins was super helpful. Even though many people (family members included) seemed skeptical about how I would cope with a toddler and twin infants, I had a boost of confidence having done this at least once before." "I already had two sons before the arrival of my twin sons, so you can imagine what I was thinking...'I'm so outnumbered'! I have to say that the first year was the most transitional...Lot's of explaining, a little stress, and finally a solid routine".
Tip:
Make the new big brother or sister of twins feel extra special with a gift after the birth your twins. There are some fun T-shirts available just for them. |
