A new sibling checklist prepares the older child with a story, an early room change, and a named caregiver.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a hospital bag checklist?
No. This new sibling checklist is the plan for the older child. Your labor bag is a separate list.
When do we tell them?
Before labor, in simple words, with enough time to ask questions. A surprise at the hospital is harder.
Should we move them out of the crib now?
If a move is required, do it weeks ahead. Do not pair a new baby with a new bed on the same day.
What if they act younger?
Regression is common. Keep one familiar routine and mention ongoing worries to the pediatrician.
