261. [DOULA TALK] Preparing Older Siblings for Baby

In this Doula Talk episode Sarah Marie Bilger and Katelyn discuss how to prepare older siblings for a new baby, from when and how to tell them to age‑appropriate conversations, setting expectations, and helping kids bond by feeling kicks and getting involved in care.

They also cover logistics and options for the birth, home vs hospital, hiring a sibling doula or trusted caregivers, and practical strategies to reduce stress and make the transition smoother for the whole family.
