Is anyone finding the transition from 1 to 2 children really challenging?
Any coping strategies as im really finding it hard to navigate life with a toddler and newborn who is breast fed. Feel like I cant even get dressed or find time to shower or eat!

@Rachel I have a wonderful husband who is great at helping. I spoke to him about how I am v feeling and he now makes sure I am getting dressed before he goes to work and we're introducing a bottle so I can have a bath in the evenings to relax. This has helped a little. The eldest is in preschool for two days and husband and family are around on the weekends and evenings. That leaves just three days a week where its me and the two girls!

Hey, it is hard. Do you have any help? A partner, family or a friend with a toddler who could come and help? I have a 3 year old, but they go to nursery full time, so it's just the evenings and weekends that I have both. My husband is here helping then too. It is really hard and will take time for you to adapt. But getting dressed and a shower are basic needs that make you feel human. So if anyone can help you even for an hour that sounds like it's needed. We've also introduced screen time for my toddler, we get some quiet while she binges on Bluey for half an hour. ❤️
