We are considering have another child and am curious as to some experiences introducing an infant to a 2-2/12 year old? Any input would be helpful.

Thanks

Hi, Andrea. Well my 2 dds are 22mos apart and things went really well. Elise never really experienced much jealousy and now theyv are the best of friends! I can't imagine what it would be like if Elise didn't have Olivia. Now I am almost 7mos pg with baby girl #3 and she and Olivia will be 2 1/2 yrs apart. If I'm doing it again you know it couldn't have been that bad, lol! If you have any questions feel free to ask! :)

My dd's are almost 3 yrs. apart. The fortunate thing was, Katie wanted a baby sister (not a brother) in the worst way, and that is what she got! (phew). Anyhow, we took her to a sibling class at the hospital - they taught them how to help with the baby, how to help with diaper changes (they had to bring a stuffed animal along, and used that), etc. It was about a 1/2 hr. class and she thought she was pretty important. After that, she couldn't wait for the baby to come. Check that out.
