DS2 (3 weeks) seems to be starting to cluster feed. I know it's normal and that doesn't bother me.
But how do you manage to fit in all the normal evening things?
I need to get DS1 to bed (including bf'ing him to sleep), have a shower, clear up dinner stuff and get things ready for the next day. DS1 and I go mental if we don't get out in the mornings and that's only achieveable if I get everything ready the night before.
DH doesn't have much time to help out, and is out at least one evening a week anyway. It's difficult to switch many things to earlier in the day as we struggle to get out as it is, and DS1 is bored of hanging around while I try to sort food/laundry etc.
DS2 isn't overtired, frantic or crying. He just feeds for a bit, sleeps for a short while, feeds for a bit, sleeps etc. He sleeps happily in the sling, but I don't really feel confident trying to feed him in it as he has some latch issues (partly related to a tongue tie we're waiting to have snipped).
Any ideas?
