I have a 21-month old girl and I am expecting a baby girl. I am due in a month. How can I make my eldest accept and love her little sister?

Dr. Ivana Dabaj Pediatric Neurology
It is really important to prepare well your girl for the expected newborn.
First you should explain for her that you have a baby inside of you and that she will look like other babies and you show her other newborns so that things will become realistic. You tell her that you are going to have this baby at home, and you are going to feed her and bath her... insist on the fact that your eldest is going to help you taking care of the newborn. Bring her gifts saying that these are from the baby because she loves her... after all what is most important is to show your eldest girl is that she will always be special and that you will always take care of her.
