How do I keep my newborn alive ?😂

😂 tbh my 1.5 year old is so good at not messing with my 6 month old she will occasionally lean on her to try to give her kisses other that she's pretty good

I don’t have any helpful advice but I’m in the same boat as you I have to watch him like a hawk. Interested to see if anyone has any tips

If you can buy a second hand baby chair that’s higher up. I bought a baby moove chair and it’s been so helpful x

I’m due baby number 2 next month I also have a 18 month old, I’ve just been gifted a play pen which I intend to use for short periods of time to get things done whilst keeping both babies safe when the second arrives. So far my daughter loves it so I’m hoping it’ll still work after the baby arrives.

Our son is 14 mo, we have another on the way. Our 14 mo old understands "no". Sometimes we have to repeat ourselves but if we tell him not to touch the TV, the cats, anything, he will listen. At worst, we remove him and tell him what he's doing is not nice. Definitely an age that can be taught not to do things. We do have a big pen that encompasses the entire living room for him also.

My daughter literally spent the first 2 months of her life in my arms or on the dining room table! Lol My kids are 15 months apart and my son LOVES his sissy but does NOT understand that she is fragile. He learned body parts and would joyfully poke her in her eyeballs and exclaim “eyes!”. I’d put her on a blanket on the couch and he’d pull the blanket trying to get up to see her and end up pulling her to the edge of the couch. I’d put her in her bassinet and he would try to climb it and say “see sissy!” As the whole thing started to tip over. Most of my time is not spent feeding or changing diapers or cleaning: it is spent with my arms spread wide and exclaiming “ohhh no no no no watch out! Gentle gentle! Uh oh I don’t think sissy likes that” 😂

I have a 16month old at a 6week old The only way I can keep him safe during a nap in the moses basket it by using a mosquito net My older LB can't put toys into the basket then while he is sleeping or even touch him 🤣

Stretchy wrap. They are attached to you and I found my newborn almost disappeared to my 2.5yr old twins.

I’m glad you’ve put this because I was literally thinking about this last night. I’m being induced tomorrow and have a 16 month old boisterous girl, and I’m like ‘how am I even going to be able to go to the toilet or pop to the kitchen to make a coffee’ 😂😂

I’m basically always holding one of them to make sure the newborn is safe 😆
