So I also thought it would be near impossible but it really is doable. Our older baby had just started walking so I put her toys and her into a playpen while breastfeeding the baby. I tried to work around our older baby’s nap time to breastfeed. The worst part was dinner and bedtime because I either had to wear our newborn or she just cried. All routines with our older baby were rushed because the newborn just needed constant attention. Baby wearing is very helpful so make sure you have a carrier you like and is easy to put on by yourself. It’s much easier now after 4th trimester we’re able to put the infant down and she’s starting to self soothe It just takes a bit of juggling, trial and error, and a LOT of patience
@Kirstie agree with all of this as well! Although it was challenging I almost feel as if it was easier than our first baby because I was a much more confident mama! I do so much with our babies more than I ever felt comfortable doing with our first baby
18 months between mine and my first is 25months old and my baby is coming up to 7months. It gets easier. My eldest enjoyed making baby bottles with us. He has been known to feed him his milk as well. He's starting to give the baby some toys to play with as well. Took him awhile to adjust. People say about a doll. They could help but I must say my son just put his down behind the sofa
I became a mum of 2 under 2 6 weeks ago, with a 17 month age gap between my girls, don’t get me wrong it’s hard I won’t lie and say it isn’t, but seeing my eldest with her sister is the best, she’s been amazing with the transition and is the sweetest to her, will go and give her kisses on the head, helps get a nappy, passes the bottle and puts her dummy back in if she’s sad! My youngest has slotted right in and so far is super chilled - my toddler usually sleeps through however we’ve had a rough few weeks with the 18 month regression mixed with teething which has made it harder however second time round I’m so much more confident in knowing what I’m doing, and the reduction of sleep isn’t as hard as it was first time round as you’re used to it more! Just try to be as prepared as possible, for example if you’re going out the next day have the bag packed the night before, and just accept that not everything will go smoothly and you may not be on time everywhere but as long as
