[quote=Anonymous]Baby wear - a lot especially in evenings. I found supplementing with formula made nursing easier. Sometimes a bottle was easier with two kids. YMMV. Baby went to bed very early when possible. Made it easier for me to have one on one time with toddler. Stroller walks in afternoon great way to burn time and keep kids mostly happy. Pre-make toddler meals so you aren't having to cook etc - have everything ready to go. Involve toddler in "helping" with baby. Teach toddler how to say "I need space" and react immediately to remove baby when they say that. Helps minimize toddler physically hitting etc if they get used to that their words have power. My three year old still yells I NEED SPACE to his one year old sister. Its kind of awesome. Realize first 6 weeks will be the worst, first 6 months slightly less bad, and all uphill from there! It's all temporary. [/quote]
