| Sibling care checklist
Plan in advance to make sure siblings are taken care of when you are in hospital. If possible, get someone to stay at your house as this will be less disruptive. If your children will be staying at someone else’s house, make sure that your child is familiar with the surroundings. Always have a back-up plan in case the person cannot take care of your child. Give the following information to your birthing partner or a friend:
When labour begins, call:
Name ____________________________
