My daughter was 6 when her brother was concieved, its a whole different ball game to when they are toddlers and getting a sibling, my biggest advice would be to involve her as much as you can, talk to her often about the baby, and how you are feeling, and about your pregnancy and birth with her so she knows that was also very special for her.
She is also old enough to look at more informative books with you,talk casually to her about feeding, how they can't do much for themselves at first and how they will be reliant on you,and that she was too....kids love to hear about themselves as babies
My daughter is AMAZING with her brother, not only does she do an awesome job at helping out (she can even change nappies, I don't make her, but the point is,she can ) she understands that he is little and sometimes I need to give him a bit more attention,yet she completely adores him ...
PM me if you have any questions
