Help with living on 2 floors 🤷‍♀️

I'm from the UK 2 floors are normal for us. I would always wake up take my baby down stairs change nappy and feed then while their playing run up grab clothes then come back down and get them changed. My bathroom is also upstairs I would have clean nappy and pyjamas down stairs take child up and bathe them wrap them up in a towel bring down stairs to get ready have a snack then take back up for bed. It's just finding out what works best for you x

That's normal were all just winging it at been a mum. You just get used to things then something changes either your child's milestones or sleep patterns or something in your life then have to work things out. You will get there. Your doing great x

When my husband and I are both home, we just bring my sons clothes downstairs and change him downstairs. We have diapers on the main floor and change diapers down there (we don’t go up to his room to do them). So we take off his pjs and come downstairs in just his bedtime diaper. Eat breakfast, and change into clean diaper and clothes before heading out to school. Sometimes we will come down in PJs and we just throw his dirty sleeper on the stairs to bring up the next time we go up.

When it’s just me. I wake him up, change diaper and pants upstairs, but bring his shirt downstairs. So he can eat without the shirt/make a mess, and then I put it on as we head out the door.

As Kerry mentioned, you sorta just fall into routines. This has worked for us for 6+ months.

Our old place had 3 flights of stairs haha. So I was happy to move here with a basement/main floor/upstairs where we only really have the 1 to go up/down.

When I moved onto our house it was the first time in 24 years I've had a 2 floor house, and it was difficult for me to get used to not pregnant, even worse when I got pregnant 2 years later! I will say it gets easier with time and you get more used to it, it will also be easier when you are not pregnant as well! It took me a year to get used to it 😅 my husband always had a cape, so it was normal for him, but it was a big adjustment for me as I lived in a ranch all my life. With dressing your toddler, I always keep my 2 yr old in his pj's until after breakfast and bring his clothes down for the day with us! Doesn't really stop the up and down unfortunately with toys or books he wants, but does cut out one trip at least! I am also almost 8 months pregnant with a toddler so I feel your pain 😅

I keep a few change of clothes downstairs for the week, bulk kept in wardrobe

I have a similar layout and a 2.5 year old. We have lived here since he was born and I remember it was difficult because he would get upset when I needed to go down to the basement to pee. It was easier when he could understand a bit more and I would tell him I will be back in 2 mins and eventually he realized I was truthful and I would come back. Not he is older and isnt bothered when I leave him for a few mins to go pee

For eating, we use full coverage bibs so he makes less of a mess. We always get changed before we go downstairs and if he has an accident we again tell him we will be right back and run up and get a change of clothes. You can leave an extra set of clothes downstairs too just in case.
Stair piles are also great. I have a small basket at the top and bottom of the stairs where I put stuff that need to go up or down but not immediately so it helps with not constantly running up and down the stairs.
