If you’re currently expecting and you’re looking for ways to prepare your older child for a new sibling – then look no further! I have put together a list of 15 books which may help them understand what’s happening and prepare them for the new addition to the family.
We have picked up a few of the books listed below, to read to our (almost) four year old over the coming months – to help prepare her for when she becomes a big sister at the end of the year!
Which books are your favourites? Did you read books with your older child to help prepare them for a new baby?

Aw, we had a few of these. There's A House Inside My Mummy was a real favourite with us, we read it so much during my second and third pregnancies, I still know it off by heart. x
Great list! I could have done with this when I was expecting my second. Bookmarking this for when we have baby #3! X
We bought "I'm a big brother," for our toddler before our second son was born. He stills like having that story read now and the baby is 3 months old. Great list!
I am so bookmarking this for if/when we have another baby! x
We had the waiting for baby book for my son before his little sister was born. Great book to get them used to the idea of a new sibling 🙂
This is such a handy list – here's hoping I don't need it for another while, but it's one so many people will be able to use!
What a great list – not something I'll be needing though ha ha
Some fab books here, we love the snuggle the baby book 🙂 x
We had theres a house in my mummys tummy when I was pregnant with my twins! My son LOVED it!
Brilliant selection of books! There's a house inside my mummy was my children's favourite when I was expecting! Mel
Some great picks. We never bought any book to prepare Matthew for his sister Chloe. She was just there like that pretty much lol.
