From Only Child to Big Sibling: Tips for a Calm Transition with Faye Poole with Faye from Kerr Psychology

Bringing home a second baby is one of the most beautiful—and logistically challenging—milestones a family can face. In this highly requested episode, child psychologist Faye Poole from Kerr Psychology joins us to take a warm, honest, and direct look at the transition from one child to two. We move past the "perfect" nursery prep and focus on what really matters: your first-born’s emotional world.

Faye shares practical, science-backed strategies to help your oldest child feel secure, seen, and supported as they navigate their new role as a big sibling. We discuss how to prepare them before the birth, how to handle the inevitable "tricky" emotions once the baby arrives, and how to protect your connection with your eldest when you’re exhausted. Whether you’re currently pregnant or right in the thick of the newborn haze, this conversation provides the tools to make this transition feel safe, grounded, and joyfully messy.
