DS3 due in 6weeks.DS1 3.5,starts school in Sept,DS2 nearly 2.Wondering if I need more help at home/childcare.Will have DS1 in preschool 2.5 days per week but nothing over summer holidays.DS2 will stay at nursery 2 days per week.Will have all 3 at home 2 days per week,then only 1 of them & the baby on the other days.Worried how I'll manage especially on the days when have all 3 as DS1 is so energetic and DS2 ,although calmer ,isn't quite old enough not to run off in parks etc.I've managed fine so far when just had a wilfull toddler & a bf newborn but will it be too much with a small baby & 2&3 yr old boys,particularly in the summer when they really need to be outside?I'm looking into getting a mother's help 1 day per week.How did others manage with small age gaps like this and I am being silly worrying?Me & DH are both 1 of 3 but the personalities of our siblings were much calmer than either of our 2 boys.I don't want to make my other 2 feel pushed out by increasing the amount of time they spend in childcare but on the other hand I'm worried it will be too much on my own.Any survival tips/advice?
