I gave birth to my second DD last week. My DH has 2 weeks paternity leave but I have suddenly become very nervous about the idea of managing DD1 (turning 2 next week) and the baby with no family or friend support considering we are in lockdown. Also, my family live abroad so even when lockdown ends I will be alone a lot. I do have one friend that I will see in the playground maybe once or twice a week but that's it.
So, I am looking for practical tips for getting through the day. Anything from how to be organised so I can get out every few days, ways of keeping DD1 happy while I feed DD2, how to manage DD1s (pretty epic) tantrums while sleep deprived, nuggets of wisdom. Anything! Help me survive!
