It does get easier, even though it doesn’t seem like it What helped us was integrating our toddler. She brings us the bottles, or diapers, and we ask her if she wants to go check on baby sister when she wakes up from nap and so on This way she feels included
Mine are 17months & 4months . I noticed behaviour change when I first brought he's sister home . Is what I do is when I put her to sleep . I give him 1 to 1 time that's helped me . When I'm giving her cuddles I give him cuddles same time ect or when im feeding her ill feed him to lol It's hard it's tiring 😫. I defo not having any more lol I feel so old lol .
It def gets easier maybe light discipline . I discipline and redirect mine when she trying to fall out . I’ve been out hospital 2 weeks I try to focus on my oldest without baby or include the oldest Try to stay positive is all you can do . If things changes just shift w the change and take a breathe mama
It does but it’s still hard. When the older one gets a little more independence and is more interested in things and can play longer it’s nice but it’s still not easy but yes easier than before.
Definitely gets easier and you start by including toddler in baby things so you can do both. I would ask my toddler to bring me diapers/wipes, pajamas. Point out the babies body parts, wear the baby so I could hang with my toddler. We focused hard on toddler becoming independent and challenging him. So if possible try to get your toddler more difficult activities to mentally occupy. Climbing toys, puzzles, etc. It started getting better after the youngest was around 3 months old. It was more fun by the time she was 6 months old and now that she's a year and my toddler is 2.5 they play together and I barely remember how hard it was. Hang in there and keep creating the behavior you want to see
It does get easier, my little ones have a 13 months age gap and now they are 1.5 and 2.6 years old and it is sooo much easier to deal with them. You just need to keep in mind that it is not gonna be forever!
