Screaming baby and screaming toddler

[Correlation]

Please help. I've got a 10 month old and a 2 year old and they both want me all the time and scream/cry if they don't have my full attention. Toddler wants me to play with her and baby just wants to be walked around the house holding my hands (not crawling or walking unaided yet) all day long.

Losing the will over all this. Toddler won't be in nursery until 3 yrs old.

This sounds tough! Are you able to get out to local playgroups/library or similar to get a bit of a break and let them burn off some energy etc? I find if we go out in the morning and do something, the rest of the day feels like less of a slog at home.

And can you make sure to give the toddler some attention and play during the baby’s nap time?
Another suggestion would be to make a game out of helping the baby to walk, so the toddler can join in eg. Let’s pretend we’re going to the shops/zoo or have a kitchen disco and dance?
Honestly, some quiet tv time is also probably much needed! And so you can get a break.

The only way I coped with both of these hellish phases with one child was by getting out the house. It’s still my mantra with 2 - playgroup in the morning (either 2 yo can play with other children or 10 month old is distracted enough to let you play with 2 yo) then a walk in the afternoon whatever the weather. Being in the house is when the crying inevitably starts from both.

I've been there. DD1 and DD2 were 21 months apart and DD2 cried all the while.
I had a double pram/ pushchair and used to walk a lot.I remember an elderly lady saying to me what a lovely mum I was,as she saw me out with the children all the time. She didn't know that it was the only way that I could hang on to my sanity. The crying just seemed more bearable outside,so we covered miles.
I know it doesn't seem like it,but it will pass and get easier.
