[quote=Anonymous]We worked at getting DC 1 as independent and autonomous as possible (potty trained, completely self-feeding, solitary play) so that as little as possible would hinge on my immediate availability. I think it really helped. Also, like above, engaged my older child in helping with the baby. We got into a routine of whenever I nursed the baby, older kid would bring books and I’d read to him - which was good for the baby too and made her less drowsy. But it is hard. No question about that. Those breaks you get with just one disappear completely. Organization is key. It’s so much harder to get two into the car if you run out of milk or diapers and takes forever so you need to stay on top of supplies. “The days go slow but the years go fast.” [/quote]
