In today’s episode, Emily interviews Korah Hoffman, Harriet Hoffman, Penelope Flores and Charlotte Flores to get to the bottom of how to help families adjust to bringing home a newborn into a family of three or more. Caring for a newborn is difficult but now you have to make time for your older child(ren) as well. How do you keep it all together? It’s not easy but somehow families still thrive but somethings just won’t get done. That’s ok! Listen to this week’s episode to see what tips Korah has to give to moms and see what Harriet, Penelope and Charlotte have to say about bringing home a sibling.
