Kids under 5 are used to lots of attention from mom and dad. Having a new baby in the house could be tough. You can help make a new big brother or sister feel important with a special gift.You can include a note saying it is from the new baby. Help your older child see how important the big sibling role is.

When lots of people are coming over to see the new baby, it's easy for the older sibling to get lost in the shuffle.  Let the child know it's not just about the new baby.  Help the older sibling see how important and unique it is be a older brother or sister with a special gift. Anything that requires time and creativity is a great gift for the older sibling.  Explain that the gift is just for the " big" brother or sister because the baby is too small to play with it.  Personalizing a gift allows the older sibling to be the star.
