It is important for a mother to seek time alone with her toddler to reassure him that he is loved. It is normal for a child to regress when a new sibling is introduced into the home. The toddler may have feelings of jealousy and resentment toward the new baby taking attention away from him. Frequent reassurance of parental love and affection is important. Changes in sleeping arrangements should be made several weeks before the birth so the child does not feel displaced by the new baby.
