@Tencey I feel you! I’ve just fed my toddler normally but lived off soup and toast myself at random times when I can fit it in. My husband is away overseas with work and I’m so keen for him to come home so I can be alone 😂
Can you all play in the same room? I put my baby on the playmat with rattles and crinkly books etc that she can grab at. But then I can set up toys for my son and I sit between them so if she starts getting grouchy I can intervene but I can also play with my son. X
@Kirsten tried that, it’s worked for months but all of a sudden my toddler wants to be away from him. “Mummy come to my room please”, “no James mummy”, “let’s snuggle” and pushing herself between us. She’s losing her patience with him (she’s only 2 so expected) and it’s just making life that much harder at the moment 🤦🏼♀️
I’m in the same boat. I’ve taken to sitting on the floor with baby on play mat and toddler on lap/next to me and try to play with them both simultaneously. I get my toddler involved with things like nappy changes etc xx
My daughter is also nearly 2 however she doesn’t get very jealous luckily. However my baby does not like to be put down he wants to be held 24/7 and it’s so draining. I feel like I’m Neglecting my daughter at times because a lot of the time she has to wait while I deal with a screaming baby, I don’t want to wish his life away but I can’t wait for this stage to be over with 😅😩
My baby is like this even if I’m in the same room and I’m not fully concentrating on him he will just scream and scream until he has my attention he’s my 3rd and my other two never done this he’s so clingy
You are absolutely not alone! The last week I haven’t even been able to make dinner! Partner works evenings so it’s just me and baby. She absolutely looses the plot when she’s put down and I cannot babywear for long either because of my back and sciatica. 🥲
