Sibling books

[Stringy]

Hi folks - I was just thinking about books about a new baby coming or already being here and wondering if anyone had one that is two-mom focused?

We had several new baby books but they were not two mom focused. R didn't care for them when I was pregnant but 5 months later and it's his new favorite book. #missedtheboat

I don't know of any either but C loves "waiting for baby." It doesn't specifically mention a "daddy" but has a dad in a few pics.

This is us too.  Lately G requests one of these books every night.  I'll check the name of it tonight, it only has the pregnant Mom in it, and lots of pics without words (in addition to the pages with words) to look at and make up stories.  It's cute.

Yeah, so 2 weeks later ... here's a link to the one we have that G really loves. It's very boy-focused, but there is likely a girl version or a more gender neutral version available:

How is M doing with all the changes?

While not specifically two-mom or sibling focused, I have come across the book in the link below (and have since bought it, even though we're still TTC Baby #1). It is a really creative story of how babies and families are made. What I like is that it is inclusive of all types of families. The illustrations in the book show people of all colors, genders, sizes, etc. The bright colors clearly indicate this is a children's book, but the correct terminology is used in age-appropriate ways and seems to be a great starting point for a kid to learn and ask questions about how their family came to be.

We ordered a personalized big brother book from Pottery Barn Kids for William. It has his name throughout and is focused on him as the big brother. He likes it. We have a few others, but I can't recall the names off the top of my head. None are two mom focused unfortunately. He didn't care a ton about the books pre-baby, to be honest. We had more luck with the baby doll we bought him. He put the doll in our baby swing and we talked a lot about "your doll baby" and "your real baby in mama's belly" -- he seemed to really connect with it after a few weeks.

Thanks for the links. I'll check them out. jgy she is seemingly excited. She wants to hold the baby and feed and diaper her. Pretty much this kid will have three moms. We have a couple standard "baby is coming books" and even though one doesn't have any daddy language- she now points to the pictures and says that's the mommy and that's the daddy. And if I try to change it she says no and corrects me. She's not upset about it by any means but it would be nice to have a nice growing family book with two moms.

I see an opportunity here:). You have time to write a Children's book, right?
