Hard stage
I have a 3 year old and 10 month old. Things were hard to begin with in the newborn stage then it seemed to get easier. But now I'm finding it tough again and thought it would be easier again if anything. But my youngest is so interested in crawling around and picking up all sorts she shouldn't have, it's exhausting, and she's become so clingy that putting her down for a nap is a battle like in newborn days. Which is tough when you have a 3 year old too! Has anyone else found this age hard when also looking after a toddler or just me?!

Mine are 15 months apart and the extent of interactions between them has been the little one (15m) stealing the big ones (30m) toys and the big one screaming and crying. We struggled months 6-12 with naps so hard and the LO basically required contact naps or he’d only nap for about a REM Cycle (40min). We did the Taking Cara Babies sleep course for 6-24 months and while the $250 was a hard pill to swallow, my life is infinitely better. LO is less clingy and gets angry less (though we are currently getting molars so he’s angry again). I’m not big on promoting things but sleep training was absolutely life changing for us. I’m finally sleeping and I’m less short with the BO.
