2 babies under 2

Hello,

I’ve just found out I’m about 3 months pregnant I have a daughter who has just turned one. How have you found having two young babies?

Hay congratulations!

I have two close in age a 2 year old and 1 year old and a 11year old. Honestly, it's much easier! Or that's what I think. They both do similar things together, they get on great and best decision I ever made 💖 x

I have a 4 month old and a 2. 5 year old, it's tough, they're both having a sleep regression at the same time so no sleep for me 😴 but the 2.5 Yr old is incredibly sweet with her little sister and loves her so much, the little sister, found her big sister hilarious, even when she's being man handled by her.It's hard but it's also completely amazing, would definitely recommend ❤️

That’s a big concern for me. I miss sleep so much haha! They sound so lovely 😊

I have a 10 week old and my daughter was 23 months when he was born…it’s hard work but Iv learnt to be organised with everything, get up and ready myself before the baby and toddler, bags packed and outfits out the night before, I find it easier to get up and out the house early rather than sit around and do nothing, our toddler needs a lot of stimulating and I actually find the newborn easier at the minute! You’ve done the lack of sleep before so it’s not as much as a shock. My toddler still has a 2 hour nap in the afternoon so I’m napping when she naps and hope to get the baby into that routine too eventually. Congratulations, it’s sometimes chaos but the best kind of chaos! X

Thank you so much for sharing. Really appreciate the tips, I’ll be sure to build those into my routine.

My 2nd daughter arrived 11 months and 3 days after her sister and after the first 4 months once in a routine they became more like twins and were far easier to manage than the 2.5 year gap between my 3rd and 4th children. the worst thing were the comments when I told friends and family that I was pregnant for the 2nd time but it wasn't a true choice I believed that breastfeeding meant I couldn't get pregnant - so wrong

My family and friends are really happy it’s work I’m most concerned about. I’ve only been back for 5 months and I’m going to be gone again in another 6 months. I’m sure there will a few horrible comments. How did you handle it with work, did you have any problems?
