2 under 2 Breast feeding + mad toddler

Any tips please for dealing with a hyper toddler son who wants to go out early and twice a day while breast feeding please ?When the baby starts crying it makes me feel stressed as I have to find somewhere to sit quickly where my toddler son won’t hurt himself/ be able to run off etc.
Also struggling with shopping in case baby starts crying then I have to strap toddler in, he gets bored then kicks off, I really don’t want to resort to iPhone videos in buggy as he has those indoors already while my hands are full.
Not sure how I am going to survive till they are both older !!!

That sounds really tough. Could you get the shopping delivered for a while until they’re both a bit more manageable?

Yeah I wouldn’t bother with shopping right now until things get easier! Stick to deliveries.
How long does the baby feed for each time?

Learning to breastfeed baby whilst in a sling is going to be your saviour here! Takes a bit of practice, but does leave your hands reasonably free to keep a hold of toddler.

Can you use reins for toddler when out of the house? The little backpack ones are great and he’s a bit safer then.

And all shopping delivered until baby is older and toddler more manageable?

Get your shopping delivered! There's no point in making things harder for yourself.

I go to small groups and small softplay venues, then DS (2) can run around whilst I feed DD (8 weeks). Because the venue's are small, I can keep an eye on DS at all times.
