No matter how well you explain the pregnancy or prepare your older child for the new arrival, there is bound to be some regression. This is exactly why you should not attempt any new routines now. If you haven't started potty-training, now is not the time, hold off until the newborn is a bit older and more accepted by the older one. Be prepared for the potty-trained child to regress to accidents and diapers - just handle it in a calm way and know this is only temporary and will pass as soon as he is comfortable with the new situation. The same goes for the transition to a toddler bed. It is a treacherous concept to switch the toddler from crib to toddler bed once the little one arrives. You should either do this transition earlier (a month or two in advance) or use a bassinet for the newborn and move the toddler to the big kid bed a few months later.
