Am I giving second child enough attention?

Hi, looking for some advice / reassurance. Dd2 is almost 2.5 and dd2 is 3 months. Things are going reasonably well after a crazy settling in period of panicking about my dd1. Now I'm panicking about dd2.

Dd1 is in nursery Monday and Tuesday so I have those two days alone with dd2 but the rest of the week is all about dd1 and feel I'm not giving dd2 and attention at all and feel awful.

I take her to a baby class on a Monday and she is usually on me in a sling as she doesn't seem to settle in anything other than that built I feel as if I'm not actually talking to her : playing with her enough. We see my parents on a Wednesday so we usually all go out and do something together and Thursday and Friday we do a two toddler and baby groups and usually go to the park in the afternoons.

I just don't feel like I actually pay her any attention other than meet her basic needs. Did anyone else feel like this? Xxx
