Bringing home a new baby is a beautiful, sacred moment. But for young mothers, it can also come with questions, guilt, and unexpected emotions, especially when there’s already a toddler or preschooler at home. In this episode, we offer wisdom for moms navigating the transition from one child to two (or more). We share practical ways to prepare your older child, introduce the baby, manage regressions, balance new demands, and maintain connection in this holy and hard season.

Whether you're weeks away from delivery or in the thick of newborn life, this episode is full of encouragement for mothers who want to parent with love, wisdom, and peace.
