I would recommend getting the books about getting a new baby to help, the usborne ones are good. I have never had to do it but someone else might have better advice.

The usborne first experience books are good.

I also love the book by Giles Andre called "there's a house inside my mummy".

i brought the pregnant barbie doll when i was pregnant to show molly and try to explain to her where the baby comes from, the barbies belly clicks off and there is a new born in side and then the tummy goes flat again lol hard to explain to you but its a fab dolly and she loved it, i also had some cards in a bounty pack which we used to go through it shows you baby week by week how baby is growing which i thought was good and mols was fascinated by them, xx jue xx
