Mums who also have a toddler
Tips and tricks to get through days where baby can't be put down? My 5 month old is going through a suuuuper fussy phase as he has his brothers cold and is also teething. Up all night to. I'm with them both solo for 3 days per week, and they have been hell recently. Even in sling, the baby is crying, and I just can't focus on my older child (he's 27 months). I got through yesterday by making sure all baby's naps were in cot and not overlapping with toddler naps so I got some 121 time with them both, but I literally didn't sit down for a single second all day... I just want to hear how some others in the same situation muddle through those days!

Oh no!- poor you!! Some days are just tough! I put my two in the pram and go for a walk. Usually around my 22 month old’s nap time and sometimes they both fall asleep and stay asleep when we get home. So I can just sit with a cup of tea and have like 20 minutes peace. If they both don’t fall asleep, I feel better for the fresh air and walk any way. Hope it gets better for you soon!
Same here.. the only way I do it is by letting my little one sleep in the baby carrier/sling so that I can spend time with my 2 year old

I can relate! It’s hard isn’t it! I put baby in the sling and we scoot/ride around the park. Then play when baby is awake. Or on really hard days life out a movie on, sat on the sofa and contact napped with a jumper over babies ears.
