[quote=Anonymous]I put the infant seat into the bathtub with the older child on the other end as soon as it was feasible. Two baths in one and the kids loved it. Another option is to put the baby in a swing where he can see you and hear you singing/chatting, and you shower with the two year old. Yet another idea - baths every other day, and in the morning rather than evening (or switch, one in am and one in pm). With only one adult, you can get away with something like microwave Fresh Direct entrees for you, an easy prep toddler meal and breastfeeding. You do not need to stress about meals! My kids are great eaters now in elementary/middle - eating this way in the earliest years had no impact on what foods they enjoy now. You can transition as it gets easier and the kids get older into real meals, sit down dinners etc. Just FYI to earlier posts - OP's a harder phase than when I had three young kids, I have to be honest. Sounds counterintuitive, I know. When my 3 and 5 year olds could play and puzzle and color together and I had the baby, it was easier than when I had the toddler and baby to myself and no one to help entertain the toddler. [/quote]
