Make a nursing basket for an older sibling.

When baby number two arrives, the older sibling can sometimes feel left out or jealous. A creative idea I learned a few years ago was to make a “nursing basket” for an older sibling, for when the new baby arrives and most of your time is preoccupied with breastfeeding the baby. The idea is to make it special and only bring it out when you are nursing.

Some ideas to put in the basket are:

  • small toys
  • books
  • snacks
  • crayons & coloring paper
  • play-dough
  • stickers
  • flash cards

 

About Hanan Webster

In 2010, Hanan went from talking about her parenting up’s and down’s on private forums to discussing them with literally everyone on the internet with her blog lilac city momma. Since then, she’s had the opportunity to talk about parenting, cooking, photography, marriage, crafts, faith, and so much more. She also shares her opinions on everyday products from food to baby gear, and everything in between. With three little girls all under six, there is never a dull moment in their home. When she’s not blogging she’s chatting about parenting and life in general on Facebook and Twitter, or wasting way too much time on Pinterest.
