Managing 2 babies born a year apart

[f10wer04]

Advice please that's all I'll ask as my threads get deleted

If you search there's plenty of existing threads about having two under 1 with advice (maybe better than posting if you keep getting deleted, although that seems strange).

Advice would be, be look after yourself during pregnancy. Take a nap when the baby does, eat well, be active. When baby arrives don’t try and do to much in those first weeks. If you have any help or offered any, take it no matter how small. Be organised if going out, have changing bag packed, clothes out etc the night before. I had a changing basket & mat upstairs and another one downstairs for the nappy changes. It saved me having to keep going up and down with a toddler. Get your oldest dc to help, eg pass the baby wipe or clean nappy. It helps them feel involved. Try and give the older dc some individual time even if it’s a cuddle & a story each day. On the tough days don’t berate yourself, their fed, warm & loved and will be outnumbered by the good days. They will play together as they grow, mine are inseparable at 7&6. Give yourself a few weeks to get your around the idea.
