People on the internet are buzzing about a mom who penned an “essay” detailing her two-year-old’s daily routine as she prepped for her second baby.
Tiffany Brown from Gold Coast, Australia, captured on video jotting down her toddler’s daily activities, from cooking porridge to packing her daycare bag.
Crystal Miles, an infant bonding expert and founder of Connected Babyz, notes that nesting typically kicks in during the final trimester in readiness for the new arrival.
Nesting activities vary greatly, from cleaning and batch cooking to setting up the baby’s room.
As the due date nears, hormones triggering nesting behaviors become more pronounced, signaling to our primal instincts that we are ready for the big day.
Brown’s TikTok clip sparked numerous comments, especially from those caring for young children.
One commenter expressed relief, saying, “This would be so helpful for a babysitter. Parents often forget to share details, leaving the sitter in the dark.” Another person shared, “I did this for my mom, and she found it invaluable. It made things easier with her first child.”
Miles emphasizes that parents are the best judges of their children’s needs. Maintaining a stable routine can be beneficial for younger siblings.
Stress and anxiety should be minimized as much as possible leading up to the birth.
