Second child, feeling guilty

Anyone else who is on their second (or more) child feeling guilty about your lack of time spent with your other kids, or the lack of attention your newborn gets compared to your first? I realize I can’t have it all but I feel like when I’m snuggling my newborn or feeding her all day and my husband is playing with my older daughter that I am neglecting my 3 year old. And then when my newborn falls asleep and I just put her down so I can play with my 3 year old I feel like I’m neglecting my newborn. There’s really no perfect answer, just wish I could have it both ways! It was so nice with our first kid we basically just loved on her all day and with this one I feel like we can’t nearly as much!
