Advice for two under two!

I will become a mom to 2 under 2 in March and I’m very scared! Does anyone have any advice? Our first had really bad colic for months and I’m praying our second won’t 😅

I have 3 under 2 lol. Its definitely hard but its not as bad as I made myself believe it was going to be. I will warn you that the youngest will seem to grow up so much quicker than your first since they are so close in age the baby is going to try and mimic what the older sibling does.

A routine is important even though it may not always fall through. I had 2 under 2 and im about to have 3 under 4 in March lol. It can be hard but make sure you have good support and take your breaks when you can.

I know I am not in the same boat but I had 4 under 4 now I have 3 under 5 and yes it’s a handful at times but one thing I made sure I did was take care of myself even for an hour but I would set myself one job a day and I would tell hubby this is what I was doing and he was on board even now he will help where he can even now I still set one job a day to do around the house even if it means one load of washing

1. It's not for the weak 😭 2. Build a routine as soon as you can. I have 2 girls and building a routine and involving the oldest is some things was helpful. Mainly nap time. 3. Take care of yourself. I had to learn that it's okay to not be okay and ask for help. And I took naps when they took naps
