Possible jealousy from other kids
Any time a new baby is introduced to a family, there is a possibility that the older children will experience feelings of jealousy. However, when a baby is born into a blended family, those feelings can sometimes be exacerbated. The older children may experience fears of being replaced and losing the love of their biological parent. This can be extremely stressful on all parties involved as your family works overtime to make the older children feel secure while also tending to the needs of a helpless infant.
