Doll now or from new baby?

Doll now or from new baby?

Postby blueeyes » Fri May 11, 2022 4:37 pm

My DD will be almost two when new baby arrives so she still doesn't really understand what's happening. She says the Moses basket is for the baby etc but I'm not sure how much she understands. We were going to get her a dolly from the new baby so she can 'mind' that baby while Mammy minds new baby but I'm thinking now that maybe I should get her a dolly now so we can be showing her how to be gentle with it etc. I'm due in less than 2 months. She has lots of teddys etc but doesn't already have a doll that looks like a baby already iykwim!

Will post this is mums & kids too.
Any advice would be appreciated!

I think a present from the new baby is a good idea- we are going to do this but we're probably not going to get her a doll- just something she'll love- to start off relationship on good note!- from new baby to her...

If your dd doesn't have a doll like a baby it might be nice for her to have one. It's funny though, it never even occurred to use this as a teaching aid re how to look after new baby. However, dd seems to naturally copy what we do with herself already- changing the doll's nappies, hugging and kissing her, putting her to bed, feeding her , saying she is crying and comforting her! Our dd will be 2 and half though so her understanding may be a bit more than your dd. I'm hoping she will naturally be gentle with the baby and we will teach her as we go with the real deal!
But I think it is no harm for her to have baby doll in advance and get her something else from baby.... :wv
