Hospital Gift

Did anyone give their older child a gift when they came to meet their sibling in the hospital? If so, what?

    DD got the book and rubber duck the hospital had given us in a package of gifts for DS. She was only 13 months and DS was 3 weeks early, so we aren't prepared. It worked fine. :)

    I forget if we gave it to her at the hospital or when we came home but I got DD a new toy- one of those puppies you pull around on a string. It was a toy I knew she liked to play with at daycare. at the hospital she was very excited to play with the balloons, and open the baby's gifts for me.

    We didn't give DD a present at the hospital but waited till we got home with the baby.  Then we got her a little tikes rocking horse.  

    Honestly, she was only at the hospital about 45 mins and she cried half of it.  She did not like it there.  She was 19.5 mos.

    LOL no, I didn't do anything.  Maybe I will this time, I don't know.  Doubt it though.  Their gift is that they get a new sibling.

    We didn't get DS anything when DD#1 was born.  He was only 15 months old, so he didn't really understand or care anyway.  When DD#2 was born, we did get DS and DD each a gift "from" the new baby.  DD was obsessed with Doc McStuffins, so she got a Lambie stuffed animal, and DS was really into Thomas the train, so he got a Percy stuffed animal.  DS was 3yrs 9 months, and DD was 2.5 when DD#2 was born though (and she was born in early December so those gifts were going to have been Christmas gifts anyway ;) ).  They both still talk about how DD#2 gave them gifts when they came to see us in the hospital.  I would say if the older one is going to be under 18 months, she won't understand anyway.  18-24 months, you could consider it!

    DD#1 got a baby doll at the hospital from DD#2. DD#1 & DD#2 got doll ring sling carriers from DD#3 also at the hospital. The new toy at the hospital seems to help with the anxieties of the unknown there.

    We didn't, but my DD was 6 years old when DS was born, and she was so super excited, it wouldn't have mattered. She just wanted to hold him. :).

    This time, DS is too young to really understand, and DD just wants a sister, lol.
