Hi, I'm sorry I don't actually have a larger family (although feels that way at times), but hoping some of you super parents with larger families can share your experience/knowledge with me.
So I have new baby who is now 8weeks old and older child who is now 20months.
Toddler is working on throwing the best tantrum so practicing all day long, well apart from practicing trying to fly by climbing on everything and diving off and the baby will only sleep on me.
All similar threads on new babies not going down for naps without instantly waking are met with the advice of enjoy the cuddles and watch boxsets etc which is exactly what I did with my first but can't with a toddler to care for. I do carry in a sling to get stuff done etc which I did with first as well but sometimes it's not practical to have baby strapped on me all day. I have a bad knee so bending them is very painful but with baby on my front I can't bend my body over to get down to toddler level.
So hit me with suggestions of how and where your 2nd plus newborns slept in the day.
Thanks
