[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not agree with the suggestion to potty train.  I did this and my oldest completely backtracked when the baby was born, and dealing with that was worse than if I just waited until she was ready.  Go by your child's needs - if she is ready, train.  But if she isn't, don't push it just so it is easier on you.

My husband worked long hours too and we had no grandparents to help.  We hired a mother's helper in the evening to help with dinner prep/clean up, bath and bedtime.  It wasn't every day but it was a life saver those evenings she came.

Bathe the kids together when you can.  Plop the infant bath seat into the main tub and have a nice leisurely time playing in the water.

Keep meals simple and go easy on yourself that first year.  It is hectic but so much fun too.[/quote]

Potty training out of the way saved me!  I would put DS in soft elastic waist pants and no underwear so he could go pee by himself.  Plus it made such a difference between he, the big boy, and the baby.  I also didn’t want to deal with potty training when the youngest was mobile.

It worked for us.  [/quote]
