I'm looking for suggestions on something to bring for an older sibling so that they don't feel left out now that the new baby gets so much attention. Boy or girl suggestions welcomed!

I would take stickers, coloring books, or cool craft kits depending on the age. Not only are are they fun, but they can help keep them occupied if mom is busy with the new baby. :-)

I would say somthing crafty as well, also depending on their age, puzzles are great! I think toys they wont get bored with fast are best.

You might consider having an "older sib" kit that you carry permanently for these kids. You bring the stuff when you come and pack it up when you leave- that way it is a special treat for when the doula comes...
