Recommended books about new baby to share with DD

[HollyFP]

Hi can anyone recommend good books to help my DD understand about me being pregnant? She is 14months now but obviously by the time her sibling arrives (May) she will hopefully be able to understand a lot more.
Thanks

Mine enjoyed There's a house inside my Mummy and New Baby (second one was a picture booked showing little boy with his mummy in various scenarios from being scans, through to leaving for hospital and then coming home with new baby)

I've just ordered the Topsy and Tim one off Amazon. You're well organised. I only thought of this last night and baby is due in just over 2 weeks...hope it arrives in time for my DD to read!

My wee girl has been quite taken by the Topsy and Tim one. There's a house inside my mummy arrived yesterday and looks good too.

My daughter (2) loves 'I'm a big sister' by Joanna Cole. It's American so uses 'diaper' instead of 'nappy', and showed baby being fed by bottle rather than breast which annoyed me a bit, but otherwise it's excellent with colourful pictures.
Congratulations and good luck! (We only gave DD the book when we went into hospital to have DS - don't worry about timing!)

We have also sat down at the computer regularly and shown the existing kid/kids pictures (haven't printed many since getting digital camera!) of them as babies so that they begin to understand that they were once tiny too. I am having my 4th but eldest 6 the month after baby due so always around 2 year gap.

When further along, I'm currently 28 weeks and youngest is 20 months, introducing him to concept of "gentle" touches and touching legs and feet so as they can still touch the baby but just not focus on its face. Has worked with the others.

Great ideas here thanks I know it's a bit early but you can never be too prepared I reckon

I've got the Sears books, Baby on the way and What Baby needs.
Brilliant - even for the dads-to-be (just in case they're getting complacent and think it should all be a doddle the second time around) as it shows Daddy looking after Mama :D

Does anyone know of any that deal with home rather than hospital birth?

[theory]

Our DD (almost 3) really loves "A Baby for Grace" - about a big sister's coping with no longer being the center of attention once the new baby comes home. I found it rather sad myself (on her behalf!) and wondered if she would, too, but she asks for it all of the time.

Are any of these suitable for a 5yo?

Second what haribojo said. Both those books were recommended to me (on here i suspect) and they really helped.

Theres a house inside my mummy is lovely.
