We sorted baby clothes and read books with plots about a new sibling’s arrival. Juniper was so psyched, my husband, Sean, and I worried she’d hurt our newborn, Cora, by accident. Months later, I’m happy to report Cora is alive and cooing, while Juniper, now 3, is growing into a better big sis daily. Not only did Juniper not resent nursing, she’d become giddy on hearing her sister’s hunger cry. In these early months, I’m opting for quality time with Juniper, spending less time in the kitchen and more with her reading or making a craft.
