I am a soon to be mama of 2 under 2 and I purchased a double stroller from target that is pretty affordable (it’s currently on sale). Here’s the link https://www.target.com/p/baby-trend-morph-single-to-double-modular-stroller-travel-system-dash-black/-/A-90708485
I hope this helps!

A playpen

Play pen to have a safe place to put baby away from toddler

Baby carrier/ sling. My newborn lives on me while I tend to my toddler. We have a 22 month age gap.
Also have a bugaboo donkey pram but also a graco stroller and love them both

A sling to put baby in when they just want to be held all the time but you’ve the toddler to feed/change

I’ve heard a regular portable bouncer you can pick up easily and bring with you for baby 2 in the early months, and a baby swing that swings automatically- I stand by this last one. My first looooved it. We’re going to have an 18 month age gap😅
Planned, but still lol
Mister man is 17 months and oh boy.😅

I would say a portable playpen/pack & play, a second high chair, double stroller, enough seats in your car to tote them around plus everything to take with you, a diaper bag with a changing pad/area built in, therapy & wine if not breastfeeding. Most important and vital is a whole lot of Jesus (if spiritual).

A whole lot of patience 🙈🤣

Most important thing I ever did was get a whiteboard with the 7 days of the week on it, and I sat down and found everywhere within a short distance that I could take the kids with a few options for each day of the week. Library song groups, church hall stay and plays, garden centres with baby friendly cafes. That way I always knew if I could just get the eldest out somewhere she would be distracted and happy and I would have some quality breastfeeding time. And having the board on my fridge made me feel a bit more in control in the morning chaos.
