Seeing your child for the first time offers a feeling that is unparalleled.
It’s a moment that will make a huge impact on any parent, but it is just as important for siblings.
When children see their younger siblings for the first time, they can experience a range of emotions.
Parents are usually filled with joy and happiness, but that’s not always the case with little children.
It is normal for a child to react weirdly and in some instances feel disgusted by a newborn baby!
For children who aren’t ready for it, the sight of a newborn can often be a little bit unpleasant.
They can look rough for their siblings especially when they are only a few hours or days older…and if they’re worried that the new baby will get all the attention.
But no matter how siblings react, their reactions are always precious.
That moment is the beginning of a lifelong bond.
We all love our siblings. They are both our family as well as our friends. While some of us didn’t have the privilege of seeing how our siblings reacted to our birth, this little girl below had her big moment captured on video.
Fortunately, she greeted her younger one with lots of love!
Right away, it was clear the little girl was excited to meet her sister.
She probably knew that her mom was due any moment and that she would be greeting someone special. Children of a young age rarely understand the importance of a sibling relationship in the early stages, but this little girl seems ready and welcomes the younger one with a full heart!
You can see the eagerness on her face!
The little girl is only 18 months old and the newborn, named Orla, is just a few days old. As it turns out, the baby had just come home after spending some time in neonatal care—you can even see that the mother is still wearing her hospital wristband!
As Orla holds her little sister’s hand, she realizes just how tiny it is.
Orla clearly wasn’t planning to store any of her love for later—she was ready to shower her sibling with endless affection!
She quickly hugs her sister, which is followed by lots and lots of kisses!
After that, her mom was laughing as she knew it was a very special moment for both of them.
The moment quickly turned emotional for her, which any parent could understand.
Orla then realizes that her sister has a tongue, and she quickly sticks hers out as well.
After watching this, it’s clear they’ll both treasure this memory when they get older.
Siblings share a very deep bond between one another.
They argue and fight with each other over little things, but in the end, they always love each other. In fact, we typically spend more time with our siblings over the course of our lives than we do with any other person!
When Orla and her sister grow older and watch this clip again, they’ll realize how deep their bond is—and it all started moments after her Orla’s birth. When they’ll have arguments their parents can show them this clip and they’ll reconcile in no time!
