It's super sweet and has helped us talk about being a caring big bother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-babybig-brother-book-suggestions#post-2810414 Sat, 17 Mar 2018 04:47:53 +0000 ElbieKay 2810414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a few books for my son and gave them to him when we told him about my pregnancy about a month before he turned four.</p> <p>My favorite is "Babies Don't Eat Pizza" which is way more detailed and informative than a typical board book. For instance there is an illustration of a baby in utero attached to a placenta. So he knows the term placenta, and also that our twins are sharing one placenta. This book is also how he learned that babies are born without teeth. (For some reason he thinks this is hilarious.)</p> <p>Anyway, it might be borderline for a newly minted 3yo but overall I thought it was way more substantive than the other books I got. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-babybig-brother-book-suggestions#post-2810359 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 15:22:47 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2810359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also wanted to recommend getting him a big brother cape off of Amazon. I got this for my nephew when my youngest nephew was born and he looooooooooved it. It made him feel like he had an extra special role. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-babybig-brother-book-suggestions#post-2810349 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 15:04:47 +0000 nwm 2810349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>such helpful suggestions, i just added a bunch of these to my list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-babybig-brother-book-suggestions#post-2810305 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 12:54:03 +0000 codeitall 2810305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/My-New-Baby-Rachel-Fuller/dp/1846432766/" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/My-New-Baby-Rachel-Fuller/dp/1846432766/</a> book.</p> <p>Not sure how much it helped DS, but it did help us frame how to talk about the baby to him. 'See the baby getting dressed by mom? And look this big boy is getting dressed by himself just like you do!' </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-babybig-brother-book-suggestions#post-2810303 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 12:45:31 +0000 erinbaderin 2810303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found Waiting for Baby by Rachel Fuller was really helpful as a "before the baby comes" book - it talks about painting the baby's room, Mom going to the doctor and needing lots of rest, etc. I think my son was able to relate to it more than the "I'm a big brother" ones before the baby actually arrived. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-babybig-brother-book-suggestions#post-2810274 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 11:08:01 +0000 LBee 2810274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a good bit as people knew our son loved to read and kept giving us books! I'll star the ones we liked best:<br /> The classic I'm a Big Brother books from Joanna Cole and Caroline Church<br /> Big Brother, Daniel* (Daniel Tiger book)<br /> Big Brothers are the Best<br /> God Gave us Two<br /> The Baby is Here* (Daniel Tiger book)<br /> The New Baby* (Little Critter)<br /> One Special Day<br /> A Baby Sister for Herry** (his absolute favorite)</p> <p>He enjoyed reading all of them, but I think the ones I starred had the biggest positive impact. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-babybig-brother-book-suggestions#post-2810273 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 11:03:59 +0000 bhbee 2810273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This one is my favorite! </p> [attach=4253/18/p5oxyo.337x600.936CC7C3-52BB-4B9E-B569-095DF1FCFA51.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-babybig-brother-book-suggestions#post-2810272 Fri, 16 Mar 2018 11:03:15 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2810272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got this as a gift and have been reading it with our son.

I'd love to get him 2 books; something to read now about the baby coming or being in mommy's belly. Then also a book 'from little sister' when baby is here about being a big brother, or how to be a helper with a new baby etc...</p> <p>I looked on Amazon, but there are a bunch! </p>
