How did you cope looking after twins with a toddler. Tips needed!

I have 2 week old b/g twins. They are rather lovely and on the grand scheme of things pretty chilled except for the long stretch of cluster feeding they do in the evening when they are both completely nuts.

I also have a gorgeous two year old. He is a lovely but is q bit of a hitter and can be quite challenging at times. We've had a couple of occasions where he has thrown things in the cot which has put my nerves on edge.

At the moment I can't see how I can look after them all at the same time as when I BF I'm leaving one twin exposed! Please help! What did you do?!

I was going to say exactly the same. Thomas and friends, Peter rabbit, also he is getting into Disney films which take up a bit more time. If garden is secure and safe then chuck toddler in garden. I give mine the hose and he waters everything and has great fun.
Snacks and easy dinners for both you and toddler.
Soon the toddler will be able to entertain the babies and it will be so worth it. I have a 2.5 year old who utterly adores his 8 month old babies. It does get easier.
