Advice on balance

Since pregnancy and having my baby boy now 3 months, I have lost my close bond with my 3 year old daughter. We did everything together. I had so much patience and love to give. Now I feel tired all the time. How do I balance life so I can regrow my closeness with my baby girl ? Anyone else relate or has anyone else been through something similar?

I’m going through it too. I’ve heard they say to let her be apart of most things like letting her help you.

My biggest guilt everyday is having to watch her do things alone that I was helping her with just a few months ago. But I just make sure that I keep telling her I love her and making silly songs wit her name in it and having some time of just me and her snuggling and it makes me feel a bit better that she’s into it. She loves helping with baby brother I just wish I could make 2 of myself to give them both what I once gave to only her 🥲

We are in the same boat! I end the day feeling bad about it, my relationship with my oldest changed, less patience, less time outside together, less playing time. I truly hope that this phase will pass and things will feel lighter

@Taiana my daughter will be 4 soon my son is about to be 2 soon. Watching them play brings be so much joy. I laugh the whole time. Then I’m like I want to joy in and I’ll play with them but other times I don’t have the energy to play. My mil tells me it’s ok. And also reminded me when my son was much younger than right is only temporary that once he starts walking things will get much better and she was right.
