[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine are 15 months apart and I love it, and they're 19 months and 4 months currently so I'm still in the trenches.

Hard parts:
-physical logistics. If we are downstairs and I need to take one upstairs for a diaper change we all need to go, so I either carry both (hard) or make two trips
-when they're both crying and need me at the same time, it kills me to have to prioritize one over the other
-I do feel like I'm missing out on certain parts of their babyhood because I'm focused on two at once
-DIAPERS

Tips:
-fully baby/toddler proof your house so you're comfortable leaving one alone for a bit to attend to the other
-more than once diaper changing station
-potty train the older one as soon as you can
-wear the baby as much as possible
-get them on the same bedtime routine early [/quote]

my older one was in the midst of potty training and was having poop issues (terrified to poop on potty, holding it in until he couldn’t) and my youngest was nursing - he had a bunch of false alarms and I kept having to set her down to take him to potty and boy was she pissed to be interrupted while feeding and then he wouldn’t want to go, finally he pooped in his underwear, I got him cleaned up, then he went again As he’d been holding it for days! Meanwhile baby is screaming head off, and I’m got two gross underwear And a little potty chair full of smeared poop. Ugh. The worst.[/quote]
