Answer

We have 2 under 2. My son is 14 months old and my daughter is 5 weeks old. It’s definitely tough, my son has been extra needy which is hard because she is needing so much attention too. Luckily he does eventually find something to distract him somewhere around the house. But it’s hard to do chores because he constantly follows me and Undoes anything that I do 🙃😂

I have 3 under 2 and then a 6yr old its stressful but the ages is 20 months 11 almost 12 months and then youngest will be 1 month on Monday. house work gets done during nap time or when family comes to visit they grow to fast to worry about house work the main things get done rest of time I spend nursing and playing with the kids and changing diaper oh my all the diapers lol. and to clarify no I didn't have the younger 3 that close together when our son was 11 months we took in our niece who was 2 months old and a month after we got her we found out we were expecting our 3rd child so that's how I have 3 so close in age.

Answer

I've got a 17month old and a 3week old. So far so good. #1 is in a good routine, so I just organise everything around that.

Stay strong momma! I have 2 under 2 also, two girls. First is 21 months and second is two weeks old. What helps me is to complete one simple house chore goal a day. Such as to finish one load of laundry (wash, dry, fold/away), sweep and mop one room in the house, clean the kitchen appliances, etc. If I complete my goal, awesome. If I don’t, awesome. My boyfriend is extremely helpful with the major house chores (trash duty, caring for the dogs, grocery shopping, cooking during the weekends) which is a big help. But I keep in mind that even one goal a day can literally take the whole damn day to complete. What stresses me out is my oldest is still nursing and wants to nurse every time her little sister is. I tandem nurse the girls several times a day, but every time can be overwhelming for me. So telling my 21 month “no more milks” makes me feel so horrible. But letting her feed each time my newborn feeds is too much for my mind and boobs! It’s been a bit of an adjustment for my oldest as I am a SAHM and she is used to having me to herself. And my newborn is showing signs of colic/gas at nighttime which is starting to wear us all down. But I try to take it one day at a time. Sometimes even one hour at a time. Try to get some YOU time, even if that means playing on the phone while on the toilet! I try to call family and friends even if it’s just a five minute chat to destress. But I know I’m in the shit and will be for awhile. We just go with it 😜

Answer

We do (21 months and 1 month). We were lucky our daycare prepared our DD really well and she always wants to help out...even though it's more of a hindrance then a help lol. We have a lot of family nearby, so that's been amazing I don't know how it would be without the extra help. Though I will say my DH has been amazing with both our girls and is really the reason everything goes so smooth. That and I've given up and having my house clean lol!

Answer

We gave two under two (20 months and 1 month) and it isn’t terrible, definitely better than I thought it would be. Call me crazy, but I actually started potty training our 20 month old when our newborn was only 2 weeks old 😂  worth the headache because she’s fully potty trained now but that was definitely a little stressful. Try to get the baby to sleep when your 16 month old naps. That’s when I get a lot done.

Answer

I do ny first daughter is 14months old and my new daughter is 4 weeks old, some days are dreadful to say the least but ither days can be alright especially when they nap at the same time haha
Its made it anit harder for me bc i have been really sick postpartum, turns out i had left over placenta inside me and was rushed for emergency surgery yesterday to remove it all
