My New Baby

A lovely little book in the series for introducing new siblings.Short and to the point sentences that allow the adult to speak about what's going on in the story and if the toddler is a little older allows them to also talk about things that interest them through out the pages.Lovely illustrations using real textures in images, that as an I enjoyed as an adult

I bought this for my toddler for when baby no. 2 arrives for her busy box whilst I'm nursing and was so happy to see the mum in the book is breastfeeding the baby 🥰 so rare to see this illustrated and depicted now so very happy and it's very apt for the planned usage 😁

Good sized books i thought they were smaller in the pics. Lovely book to prepare child for new baby. I am due baby 2 in 2 months and my almost 3 year old knows there will be a baby but this is a great visual aid. Love that the baby is breast feeding in the pics too. And shows the older child helping with baby. The only thing i didnt expect was it asks questions on every page eg. "Why does the baby drink so much milk? Why does the baby cry?" Great coversation starters for the child if thats what youre looking for, i just expected a story or facts. Overall would buy again.

This book is a step on from the pregnancy book from what's happening with mummy to setting out expectations and experiences that may happen when a new baby arrives. The previous one was great to explain what was going on and so we switched from the pregnancy one to this from 28 weeks to help our now 3 year old process the kind of things that may happen, ask questions and role play with her dolly before her little sister arrives.It uses comparison in many pages as a developmentally friendly way of engaging with the target ages' comprehension- why do I use the potty while baby uses nappies? I eat food whilst baby has milk? But also explains other things like going for a walk and still spending time with mummy and daddy.The good thing about this book is if you are intending on breastfeeding it is treated very naturally here, no hoohah or over-explaining, just natural that baby is breastfed, other books I've seen emphasise bottles which is great for bottle feeders but confusing for this age group if you intend to breastfeed.A downside is whilst somewhat androgynous (I'm leaning both children are boys) this book isn't as ethnically ambiguous as others in the collection with clearly blonde Caucasian children, for some it won't matter, for others visual representation is important, you need to decide where you stand.Overall an excellent book to prepare your circa 18mo-4 year old for a new sibling and the changes and differences in life shown in a gentle, positive and developmentally supportive manner.

We bought this book for our 20 month old and he loves it!There are lovely pictures of the new baby fitting into family life, such as the baby being breastfed by mum whilst the toddler bounces on the bed with daddy in the morning.Then it shows baby having milk while the toddler eats his foodThere are very few words so that you can explain to the toddler why for example the baby only has milk when he can eat sandwiches and fruit!I have found it very useful in introducing to my little boy how the new baby will arrive and fit into our life and that his life will still have the same aspects such as getting dressed and meal times but with the baby there too.It is so important that my little boy loves to read the book as I have bought others that he doesn't find engaging so wont entertain reading!

We purchased this book, alongside the another one called Big Brother for our 2.5 year old. Our little boy loves this book. Ok, some of the text may not flow as well as a story book, but I think this is a good thing as it encourages discussion about the pictures, rather than being one long story repeated again and again.The images are fab, and our little boy relates to the pictures and discussion well. He has cottoned on very quickly that the baby may bring him a pressie and often tells people this when they ask him if he is excited about being a big brother!On a major plus this book has images of a breast feeding mother and allows discussion about this.Overall highly recommended if you are the type of person to expand and explore on the pictures in the book.

Feel like there should have been some warning that the new baby is breastfed as this doesn't apply to all new families

This really helped my language delayed 3 year old boy understand what was coming. He learns a lot from books as we can't explain everything to him and just telling him we're having a baby wouldn't mean a lot to him especially when it doesn't happen for months. It helped that the book had really typical situations that apply to us including breastfeeding and carrying the baby in a carrier while the toddler walks alongside. Great for him to flick through on his own or have us read aloud.

we bought this for our three year old while expecting our second. She loves reading it with us and its great at starting conversations about the needs of a newborn when they arrive.

This book is loved by my 3 year old, and has made him excited to meet his baby sister who is due this month.

Not much text, I was expecting a book to help welcoming a new baby in the family. I was disappointed...

The media could not be loaded. Super bonito y útil para mi niña de 2 años que será hermana en unos días

Libro molto carino in inglese.È bello perché i bambini raffigurati sono vestiti in maniera da non fare capire il genere, in modo che ogni bambino/a possa immedesimarsi meglio nella storia.Oltretutto questo è il primo libro per bambini che sfoglio dove è presente una pagina nella quale la mamma allatta.Al mio nipotino di due anni è piaciuto molto.
