you can let the older brother/sister get involved in the providing care to the younger sib. in that way, the older sib would feel that he/she is still important and that her/his younger sib needs him/her.

right! you can let the older one help you in bathing the baby, or maybe in feeding... let her/him do little things for the baby.
