Hi, I’m a mother to a 2 year 8 month old and I am also due baby number 2 in 4 weeks.
When we are out and about my toddler will hold hands for about 2 mins before getting distracted and running off, being as pregnant as I am it’s difficult to keep a control of him. I’ve tried reins but he will then sit on the floor refusing to move. Have also tried a buggy board but not had any luck with that either.
I don’t want to get a double buggy as moving around shops is difficult enough with a single buggy but I’m worried that when baby number 2 comes along because he won’t stay with me and I won’t be able to chase after him with a baby in a buggy. If things don’t change then I’ll be forced to stay inside with both kids all day every day which I don’t want for them.
Any tips on how I can keep him close without losing him?
Sorry it’s a long message I’ve just had a nightmare trip to one shop with him and I’m now sat at home crying thinking that maybe baby number 2 wasn’t the best of ideas as much as I want her. I’m desperate! X
