So, for context, DC 1 was VERY clingy, he had reflux, saught comfort from BF in little and often bursts, and would not nap anywhere but in me until he was around 5/6 months old. it was frustrating at times but OK because it was just the two of us at home 90% of the time. He's now two +3months and I have just had DC2. He's been in contrast so chilled since he was born, laying in his moses for a couple of hours at a time during the day which has been amazing, because its allowed me time to play with my two year old, and not have him feel isolated by his new little brother. Baby Co sleeps with me and DH at night.
Now baby is 2weeks old he's started cluster feeding like mad, totally expected I know. I have no real intention to move baby out of our bed at night as I have had a c section for one so am not able to move easily to bF, and secondly, I am exhausted so trust laying down to feed is safer. Trouble is now he's in a clingy phase he's now not going down in his moses during the day, which means I am trying to entertain both boys whilst still being very sore.
I have Dc1 4 days a week, 3 days he is at childminders. Like I said I am happy to cuddle baby as much as they need, so could camp out with him on those free days, but am I making a rod trying to do this? So he is less likely to want to lay in the moses if I spend 3 days per week holding him? I guess I am anxious how to manage them both!
Thanks in advance
