[quote=Anonymous]Right now it's hard to imagine, but you can actually feed a baby while reading to two other kids. Things are not going to be perfect, but you will get through it and the kids will be fine if you keep your temper and give them your attention. The baby doesn't actually need your focused attention for many months, but once the baby "wakes up" she/he will really enjoy just sitting there watching the older kids. Best advice is take good care of yourself and build in a break, even if that means two younger kids watch Elmo (younger in pack and play) while you and baby nap. Be kind to yourself and you will get through it! And maybe get a babysitter a few mornings a week if you can afford it. Or send the other two to pre-school.
