I'm really getting anxious how I'm going to cope with a second child. I'll be 37 weeks this week and my toddler has become increasingly needy and clingy in the past 2 months. He's 3 end of the month for reference. His sleep seems to have gone to pot unless he's in our bed. So unless I spent all evening running up and down the stairs to settle him, I just get him in our bed.
Worries-
Baby will wake toddler in the night, toddler doesn't and won't settle for dad.
Constant illness, literally the whole of November was unrelenting illness, one after the other. I'm expecting another any day now. He goes to nursery 2 mornings a week but we do go to groups too. But having a sick child takes your full attention, I can't even imagine throwing a baby and breast feeding in the mix.
I get so overwhelmed by it all.
I just want to know how those with two kids have gotten on , especially in those early days.
And the best tips for managing.
