We've adopted a baby boy who is now 7 months old and have just found out birth mum is pregnant. We'd love to welcome another baby into our family. There will be less than a year between the two little ones.
Any top tips for us looking after 2 under the age of 1?

My First two were 12 months apart and top tips would be take any help offered. Be organised, if going out have a changing bag packed the night before, snacks etc. get out of the house everyday even if for a short walk. Don’t beat yourself up if you have a difficult day, as long as everyone goes to bed, clean, fed, loved and warm you are doing ok. Try and give the older sibling quality time even if it’s five minutes reading a book whilst youngest naps. It can be tiring but positives too.

Just want to say how amazing you are adopting the sibling too! Good luck!
