Big Sister/Brother 'Kits'

mweav1025 · April 2013

Any STMs planning on preparing a big sibling kit for your kid(s)? I have seen several ideas for them on pinterest. I was thinking about putting together a little bag for DD for the hospital. She obviously will not be there for the actual delivery but for when she comes to visit for the first time. We are thinking about including a big sister shirt, a book about being a big sister, a new coloring book and crayons, and just a few things to keep her occupied while she is visiting because attention span will only last so long.

Anyone else planning on doing something similar? What would you put in it?

I plan to do something, but I haven't figured out what it will be yet. I already bought a Mercer Mayer book about having a baby sibling, and a big brother shirt. I think I might introduce the book sooner than later, though, to help "prepare" DS for wha

Last time, 3 kids 4 and under in the hospital room was "fun". My parents (who will NOT be caring for them again) did not do to well. *sighs* The only time they did well was when they came up to have lunch with me.

The second time they came to visit

I plan on buying a Hallmark recordable book (hoping to find one about big sisters) so she can "read" it and hear my voice while i'm in the hospital. I will also have a present for her to open at the hospital and one for her to give her baby sister/brother

I'm planning to bring one for dd, aside from all the big sister stuff like shirts, temporary tattoos, a big sis tiarra etc. I have been sewing up lots of little baby doll things, diapers, wipes, pillow, blanket, etc. and will be getting her a new doll so
