[quote=Anonymous]OP, I posted earlier, but just wanted to chime in to say that at least in our case, by the time the baby was 2.5 months things really settled down. Toddler is mostly accustomed to baby (even if not happy about her a lot of the time) and you get into a routine. The hardest parts for me was the first month when I was up every 2 horus breastfeeding/recovering from c-section and then I had no energy to deal with toddler who needed a lot---attention, trips, etc. I just.wanted.to.sleep. and instead had a toddler freaking out because I had a baby hanging off my breast all the time. He would try to push her off me and start wailing and throwing stuff. However, this period passed and now things are much more routine.

to the very unsympathetic posters--it's not helpful. She's going to be an essentially single mom to two young kids for 4 days/nights every week, with no break from the kids at all. She's away from her husband and her mom. Yes, other people have done it on their own too---although I wonder how many of the posters saying they had "no help" really were entirely on their own--no partner--for most of the week, every week, starting 3 weeks PP with #2. Yes, its do=able, but tiring and hard. [/quote]
