New Sibling: Supplement

Prepare your family for a new arrival with confidence, not guesswork.

Created by paediatrician and father of three Dr Daniel Golshevsky (Dr Golly), the New Sibling Supplement is designed to work alongside the Dr Golly Sleep Programs and Toddler Toolkit, giving you practical guidance to navigate the excitement, change and very real challenges that come with welcoming another baby into your family.

Whether this is your second, third or fourth child, you'll learn how to:

•  Prepare your toddler or older child for the arrival of their new sibling
•  Navigate behavioural changes and potential jealousy, including the period after your new baby arrives when these challenges can become more noticeable
•  Adjust sleep and daily routines to support your baby, older children and the whole family
•  Manage newborn night feeds while protecting your older child's sleep as much as possible
•  Navigate important safety considerations when caring for a newborn alongside a toddler or older child
•  Juggle practical everyday moments, including bathing two or more children when there's only one set of hands
•  Manage breastfeeding and mealtimes alongside the needs of your older child
•  Build practical coping strategies for parents as you adjust to life with multiple children

The supplement includes easy-to-follow lessons and practical guidance covering preparing your toddler, challenging behaviour and jealousy, safety, breastfeeding and mealtimes, sleep and routines, bathing multiple children and parental coping strategies.

Access the course through the Dr Golly App on mobile or desktop and learn at your own pace with lifetime access, so you can prepare before your baby arrives and revisit the guidance as your family finds its new rhythm.

Please note: This is a supplement designed to work alongside the Dr Golly Sleep Programs and Toddler Toolkit. Many of the routines, settling techniques and tools referenced are taught within the main programs, so you'll need access to the relevant age-appropriate program for the complete guidance.

Welcoming another baby is incredibly exciting, but it can also be exhausting. This supplement gives you practical strategies to prepare your older child, protect established routines and manage the everyday realities of caring for more than one child, helping your whole family adjust to its newest member with greater confidence.

Every child and family is different. This is a general guide and individual experiences will vary.
