I have one 6 1/2 baby who I love dearly but is blooming exhausting. So how do CMs look after more than one!!! That has to be more stressful than caring for toddlers?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I would say it's the lack of sleep that makes a baby so difficult combined with your body getting over pregnancy, childbirth & breast feeding which can drain you both emotionally and physically

Other peoples are easier

We don't suffer from the sleepless nights that go with them , or the mountains of washing , organising and bills! That's how!
And of course we're experienced and trained to do it! Find a mum with many children or a friendly cm at the local toddlers and ask them for tips- the first is always the hardest!
