Lucy added: “Get the older child involved as much as possible.
“The older child will feel so used to being the centre of your world and suddenly having to share that attention will be extremely tough for them to understand.
“So, get them involved as much as possible, highlighting their role as big brother or sister, and encourage them to care for their little sibling as much as possible.
“A three year old won’t be able to do much to help but they will understand loving signals and if they are being ignored so be conscious of your body language and work hard to be as inclusive as possible.”
