1) You may want to avoid introducing your older child to playgroup or preschool sessions (if she is at that age i presume) right around the time when baby arrives, as she may think that she is being ‘sent away’.

2) Involve your older child. Make your older child feel that she has a role to play in caring for the new sibling. You can get her to help with simple tasks such powdering baby or getting a bib during feeding times. Encourage her to touch and play with her new sibling, and praise her when she displays gentle and affectionate behavior toward the infant.

I wish you well and do keep up the joyful spirit!

I think this approach worked because she was excited when the baby came and she took her big sister role very seriously , of course it helped that the parents divide their attention to the two siblings equally.

I know that you mean , I have a very large extended family and my cousin daughter was the youngest in the entire clan , she’s 5 years old and was the baby of the bunch. Then another cousin gave birth a few months ago and she’s still adjusting to have to share our attentions with the newborn infant.
