Toddler AND newborn

The first month is the hardest. The second month is no picnic either, but it does get better. You will all adjust. Put baby to sleep with white noise so things don't go from silent to over the top toddler loud. It's ok to use an earplug when things are at their worst.

I had to give my toddler priority ALOT. We also did a lot of tv time during the first 6 weeks

I second both of the above comments! My daughter is now 6 months and my son will turn two this month. Those first two months are ✨unique✨ to say the least. Something that really helped me was saying out loud “hold on baby, I have to do something for [toddler’s name] right now.” And vice versa. It really helped my toddler understand that even the baby had to wait sometimes and not just him. You can do this! It’s an adjustment for your little one too.

Following because I will be in the same boat in January 😬😬

The emotional life of the toddler has a chapter on introducing a new sibling. I found it easier to read the audio version

My first will be two years in a few weeks and my second will be two months tomorrow. We are a work in progress 🤣

I’m on baby #3, and it’s 😮‍💨 Lots of deep breathing, lots of small moments of silence where I can get them for my mental health lol. My oldest is almost 4, and gets it for the most part. My almost 2 year old is struggling though, screaming, falling on the floor kicking and everything. I’ve just been trying my best to give them all their time, even though it’s very overwhelming

Omg this is gunna be me and I'm having twins , I have no family or friends eirher.

2 year old and 3 month old here. It’s getting better 😅

Ugh it’s so hard! We have a now almost 3 month old as well. Toddler is definitely in the tantrum phase. It’s slowly getting better but boy it ain’t for the weak!!! I’m trying as much as possible to give toddler a lot of 1:1 time since I have a lot of 1:1 time with baby. She’s just craving that mama connection.
