[quote=Anonymous]She should be able to manage both unless one is super needy and high maintenance. Is the baby taking a bottle well and nappy regularly? Is the toddler napping in the afternoon and generally well behaved— it super hyper or demanding of her while she’s trying to feed the baby? Or is the toddler the type to climb the walls and get into everything while the baby is being fed? It makes a difference. How old is she? That also makes a difference. Are you all in a tiny apartment or is there room to spread out a bit? My two cents is for you to back off—intervening is likely making it worse. Let her handle everything and find her groove. Having the parents around, especially if they’re stepping in all the time is extremely stressful and now the toddler knows mom will always step in. Leave and work someplace else for a week if at all possible. If it’s not possible, put in air buds and ignore whatever you hear in the other room. Let her sort it out. [/quote]
