Questions for mothers of 3 (or more)

1. When did you start to feel like you were back in a routine? Right now I’m just ignoring housework (which drives me nuts because I need things tidy) because I’m just so tired so whenever I have a minute I rest.

2. My third is 6 weeks and will not let me put her down. So I wear her and hold her naps when I can. She’s sleeping great at night, but I when I put her down during the day she immediately wakes up. Any advice? Or just be thankful she’s sleeping at night and keep doing what I’m doing?

3. What’s your car seat situation? We have the oldest in the back (3.5) and then the two younger ones in the middle row. We move the seat that has the infant carrier to buckle in the oldest. I put her in first and let her run around while I buckle in the middle child (1.5) while the baby is in the carrier next to me on the ground. Then I move to the other side and buckle the oldest in but I have to climb in the back and I feel weird leaving the baby in the seat on the ground since I’m not right next to her. With COVID we’re not doing many outings so when she’s been by herself it was the drive way and then the other outings were with y husband so he was with her. But I love some solutions to this. I can’t connect her in because then I won’t have enough room to buckle my oldest in the back.

Thank you!
