I have a 6 week old baby and a 2year old. Today has been very difficult.
My toddler fell down half a flight of stairs - I was at the bottom but he literally tumbled and I can't get the image out of my head.
Also, when we went to a cafe, I looked away for a split second and he had left his seat - I couldn't see him for a moment (he was just behind his chair) and I went in to an absolute panic and don't feel my heart rate has come down since! Honestly it was so scary.
We've just had a real day of it. Breastfeeding a newborn and keeping a toddler safe is hard. He also seems to really want to run away from me at the moment - I genuinely feel like I'm not capable of keeping both my children safe from harm. Out in public I feel like I'm on high alert, other parents seem so relaxed, I look crazy I swear!
Will I get used to having two? It really feels like a lot to think about at the moment. Makes me just want to stay at home where it's easy but I know that's not good for anyone!
