I had my 2nd son just before my first sons 2nd birthday. Its hard work I won't lie, but it's also amazing watching them grow up together. You adapt to a new routine which does constantly change as the younger one gets older, but just take it day by day. Now I have a 1 year old and and 3 year old and they beat each other up daily, have little arguments, but they also love each other fiercely and have the best love/hate relationship 😂 A lot of people told me it was harder being pregnant with a toddler than having a baby a toddler, but I found bring pregnant the easy part 😂 not trying to scare you at all, just being honest cause I felt like everyone lied to me haha! Also, I made sure my first was very involved and aware of his brother growing in my belly. He was hands on from day one and not jealous at all. Even when I found myself nap trapped or stuck cluster feeding. You've got this 💪🤍 for every hard day you have, you'll have more amazing days to follow!
I am in a similar boat. My toddle will be 3 years at the end of January and we are expecting baby girl at the end of May. We talked about second one for a very long time because I had a very hard labour and we did struggle a lot in the first year. But somehow we are so excited to do it again. Don't ask me how...😅 I am just trying to prepare as much as I can. No big expectations and take one day at a time.
We had our second baby 4 months ago and our first just turned 3. As the other mums said, it is tough having a toddler and a baby together especially when they are both crying or if I’m BF and my oldest just wants me to put her to bed or wants me to cuddle her but baby needs to be fed etc. not going to lie I’m still anxious going out with both of them by myself, especially if the toddler wants to go toilet whilst I’m BF or if she’s running round etc. my toddler is now at nursery three hours everyday so I do feel bad for the baby as I haven’t taken her to stay and plays just yet as much as I used to with my first. On the plus side, I do feel more confident with my second than my first. It is also nice seeing them growing up together my first was jealous at first and now and again she does get jealous but all normal.
We had our second baby 3 weeks ago and our first is now 3. What advice are you looking for Hun? I'm not going to lie it is tough with having another baby around when our 3 year old doesn't nap and only goes to nursery one half day and one full day a week, but has been unwell this week so not been in. You can't rest as much as before but I feel alot more relaxed with little girl than I was with our boy.
