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










That is such a great idea! Thanks for sharing, it will come in handy with baby number 2.

What a great idea. I never thought about this. I had horrible issues with Chloe getting into things when I nursed. If I were to have #3 I would so be doig this!!
