Toddler and newborn- what's it really like?

[SunSoakedStone]

Youngest won't even be 2 when this one arrives. What are the pleasures and pitfalls?

It is hard, but I can't imagine life without either of my babies. I have a 20 month gap. MY first is waking at least once a night and I can't remember when she last slept through consistently. MY youngest, at nearly six months wakes 2-3 times a night for food. If has silent reflux and although it isn't as bad as my daughter, he still spends some nights uncomfortable. I am so desperate for sleep. I am fully breast feeding but am considering formula because I need to do anything that might give me some sleep.

But my oldest loves her brother and he smiles so much, you just get on and they will sleep soon!

That should be he has silent reflux! Damn phone :P

wow, thanks everyone!!
