Challenges of having a toddler and baby

[McOrange]

we have a just turned 2 year old and a 3 month old and my goodness it’s hard sometimes. She’s EBF so stuck to me and the toddler is having a sleep regression so it’s a lot right now

husband does a lot but only so much he can do with a bottle refuser on our hands

does it get easier?

Yes! Same age gap between my grandchildren. 2 years on, its sooo much easier!

Same gap as my kids. They are 4 and 2 now. Things are hard while they're small, but things do get easier. Try to rope in help wherever you can. Keep EBF for as long as you can, I gave up early with my daughter and regretted it afterwards. Once oldest goes to nursery you'll find you're able to manage your day a bit better.

Oldest is at nursery 3 days a week! But it’s still hard!

Honestly, it gets harder. Sorry. It peaked for me at about a year. Eventually it gets easier but there are a few years.

For the first few months, i breastfed in the sling a lot, so i was still able to play, or push the eldest in the swings etc whilst feeding.
