Baby Number Two is on the Way, How to Help Transition the First Born

Today Morgen and Trisha are joined by Victoria, mom of 2 to Ronan (4), and Mia (2). This episode is all about expanding our families and supporting our first child's transition to becoming a big sister or brother. 

Listen in as they discuss different ways to help involve their first borns and navigate the new family dynamic. Whether it is a 20 month old or a 14-year-old, there are many ways to help get them acclimated to the changes. Consistency and routine are huge, especially with the younger ones. Victoria shares how she found pockets of time for both children and communicating about what is happening is always at the top of Morgen and Trisha's list. 

Victoria offers some great insight into what worked and didn't work for her, along with the cutest stories of the new siblings bonding early on. Trisha explains what it was like with Jack and Remi having a 14-year gap between them, while Morgen shares the ideas she has come across in her readings and tirelessly takes notes for baby #2's arrival.
