We moved dd1 into a toddler bed a month before dd2 arrived she was 20 months. We made it a big deal, with beautiful bed linen and a matching rug, we invited her nanna over and surprised her. I can still remember her excitement.

We also gave her baby dolls to look after. When dd2 arrived she would sit in my lap while I bf and would get me a cloth if I needed it. They bonded really well, i just made sure dd1 got attention when dd2 napped.

It's amazing how they adjust, both girls loved it when Ds arrived.
