We have 3 teenage sons and a 9 year old daughter. We have visited our daughter in Gautemala two times, and both times our daughter has traveled with us. She is a VERY big help to me. She actually held Bryce almost as much as I did! I never, for one minute though, felt like Bryce didn't know who mommy was. She laughed and giggled with my daughter but definitely wanted me when she was sleepy or hungry. My older daughter loves her little sister, and I can't imagine limiting the time she gets to hold her. They are going to be sharing a bedroom when home so the closer they are, the better it will be for all of us. I don't think babies have a problem distinguishing parents from siblings. My boys, I know, are also going to want a lot of time with Bryce. We are a big baby family ~ lots and lots of little cousins ~ so we all love babies. We'll probably keep Bryce in a few weeks where she only has contact with us. It just depends on how she responds. A lot of moms on the forum have said they had no problems with attachments, so I'm hoping we won't either.
