Spreading your time evenly between two

[SpreadingTheLove]

In the next week my second DC will be born. DC1 is two years old. I am simply looking for advice on how to spread my time and affection evenly between a newborn and a two year old?

Are there any tips and tricks? I am a SAHM (apart from the odd days where DD goes to nursery) so I have the time to spend with them, but how do I do it fairly?

Thank you

Simple answer is you can't do that, a newborn will need the lion share of your attention. All you can do is try to carve out some quality one on one time with the older child so that they don't feel completely pushed out by baby. As they get older the balance will shift and it can become more of a fair share of attention.
It's short term so try not to give yourself too much of a hard time about it, a 2 year old will not remember life without their sibling when they are older.

Agree with @Chely. You can't. You'll love them equally but time you can give is a different matter. It's a juggle and most of the time you just have to pick which one needs you most right at that moment. Big things that helped me were a sling for the baby so I was hands free for my eldest and prioritising proper quality time with DC1 whenever I could - if I got the baby down in the basket, we'd play or read, even if it's frustrating having to ignore a massive pile of washing. I did classes/groups for DC2 on nursery days and then days when I have both of them try to do more activities for my eldest.
