Introducing a new baby to siblings

Please note that where I talk about a ‘child’ I am also referring to ‘children’ (and vice versa) and where I say ‘baby’ I am also referring to twins, triplets or more!

We are often asked about how to introduce a new baby/babies to their sibling(s). This experience can be different for each family, there are lots of emotions such as excited, nervous, happy, worried (to name a few) and this can be the case for both adults and children! Some children will be very accepting of a new sibling, but others might not, but please don’t worry about this as it is completely natural. The age of the child will also influence how much they understand the concept of a baby being in the tummy and then being a baby living in their house (they can be very different things!).

Toilet Training

Written for SR Nutrition by Claire Burgess, Family Consultant.

Toilet training is the one thing that all parents want to get sorted out as quickly as possible – just think, no more nappies to change! However, all children are different and will do things when they are developmentally ready. Most children are ready to be toilet trained around 2-3 years old (some may be earlier and some later), but an important thing to say is not to start toilet training just because other people think you should, you know your child the best, so trust your instincts and start toilet training when you feel your child is ready.

Supporting Toddler Behaviour

Written for SR Nutrition by Claire Burgess, Family Consultant.

The not so ‘Terrible Twos’?

We often assume that our children have adult logic in order to understand the world that they are in. The first and most important thing we need to do is to remember that they are children – they have only been in this world for 18 months/ 2 years and are just trying to make sense of their ever-changing environment.

What are we experiencing on a day to day with our toddlers? The temper tantrum? Demanding certain clothes/colour of cups/toys, positioned in a certain way? Are they answering “no” to anything you ask them? Do any of these scenarios sound familiar? Do you feel that you are continually saying “no” but with no results?
