Answer

I’m due next month and I’m feeling nervous! I was actually due to have another March baby but it was a miscarriage and honestly even though I was devastated, now idk if I could have done it exactly 2 years apart. My son at 2 1/2 seems so much more ready. I hope by the end of winter we will have a groove with two kids but I’m trying to keep my expectations low for the first 6 months.

I’m expecting #2 in 19 days! I have some extra help but I also plan to just babywear the newborn mostly for the first few months and hoping to put my toddler In a little preschool for mornings around 3 years old (when new baby is about 6 months)…hoping by that time they can both nap around the same time or maybe toddler will drop his nap And they’ll both go to bed at the same time at night.

My second baby was born January 2021. My March baby was very jealous, especially during nursing sessions. We are just now getting over the jealousy at 8 months. Their afternoon naps match up. The hardest part is caring for two kiddos while in the newborn stage and fighting sleep deprivation. It gets easier as they get older.

Answer

My baby was due in March and ended up being a beginning of April baby. The first month was a little challenging, but we moved his room and gave him a big boy room and gave his little sister the nursery. So there was more change than the baby. 
We divided and conquered so I missed out on some things with him, this summer, but my husband took him to events and we did our best to make sure he was out having fun and getting attention and trying to not change his life too much. Naps and bedtime have been a breeze, but he’s always been a great sleeper. I do my best to keep sister from crying, but he seems to sleep through it all if she does.
It’s definitely challenging, but I wanted 2 year age difference so I knew what I was in for…the leap from 1 to 2 is crazy, but I’m 3 months postpartum and have the hang of it now. I’m also in my mid-thirties so I didn’t want to wait too much longer to complete my family.
The first month I don’t think I washed/brushed my hair 😂😂😂

Answer

I had a baby this past June, so March toddler was 2 years 3 months when little sister was born. 
Naps have been fine for both, and I feel pretty good about the age gap. I honestly don't think there's a right or wrong age gap though... So much just depends on the personalities of the little people. 
We only have a two bedroom house, and we haven't moved the baby in with March toddler quite yet. She has a crib in the nursery, but she still sleeps in a Pack'n'play in our living room. I'm waiting until little sister is sleeping better at night to move her in with big sister, and I'm hoping that's sooner than later. I need sleep! 😆

Answer

Had baby number 2 in June of 21, so March baby was 2 and 3 months 
It’s been easier than I thought and he is not too jealous most of the time, more cuddly maybe 
The biggest challenge for me has been managing time between the two kids I feel I can’t give either the attention and I’m time I’d like too 
But I am glad they will be closer in age!

Answer

I had another this last January so the toddler was 21 months. 
My second was difficult as hell so the first 5 months were really challenging - mainly he just only ever had 30 min naps, slept 2 hours max at a time at night, and was a grumpy fella in between. We found our stride after and even better at 7months (he's 9 months now). Naps were tricky as my toddler at the time didn't understand to leave us alone for a few minutes so I had to basically get him asleep in the same room as her and then put him in his crib. But she was so much younger  than now. She's now learned to do her thing while I put him down. 
I found it super important to dedicate time for her in the beginning that was just for her. So he'd nap and I would spend the 30 mins focused 100% on her doing what she wanted. She needed that time. Now ots all easier cuz I can play with her while he does something else or he joins in too. 
I love their age gap and it'll get better once he can do more with her. Some days are hard, for sure. But the good days are what matters most!
