I got great advice from all the wise women in my life who said to tend to the older one first, cause he (in your case) will remember that you came to him first and there is no way the baby will ever remember the extra 20 seconds of crying... The only advice i have from my 2 is to involve Yonah as much as you can while taking care of Akiva (if he's interested). Let him give the baby his pacifier, bring you diapers and even tons of hugs (which will for sure make you want to tell Yonah to be more gentle, but don't -Akiva is way more "durable" than he looks). Adelle used to stuff a pacifier in Kaila's mouth when she was crying but I think that because she felt included in the new arrival and not left out there was a lot less sibling rivalry. Email me if you need anything. Good Luck!! When Kaila was born I had the same question-who do I run to first when they both start crying?
