Mommy's that have more than one child, were you worried how the dynamic of your home would change or the intense feeling of missing your oldest child by having another baby?
My biggest fear is missing my 3 year old son.
Planning on another baby...? So for my first time moms when do you plan on having your second child?

I am determined and driven for success FAILURE isn't an option for me. I potty trained my oldest at 9 months old. My 2 middle son's were more difficult they were between 18 months and 2 years old. My baby boy was showing interest in potty training, I decided to buy him a potty chair. Potty training tips 1.) Don't rush your child 2.)Don't yell at your child 3.) Don't punish your child for having accidents 4.) Don't give you child candy 5.) Don't compare other children to your child 6.) Do praise your child 7.) Clap your hands when your child goes to the potty. 8.)Take your child every 15-30 minutes to the potty 9.)Don't criticize your child 10.) I don't recommend pull ups but I don't bash mothers who decided to use them. 11.) Remember potty training is not taught in one day you have to be determined to potty train your child.

Terrible 2's and 3's! My services have been requested. This is for the moms of toddlers. You are not alone! If you are struggling with tantrums and acting out then chances are your child is needing attention, not punishment. There are lots of different things that can trigger a meltdown, but the root cause is typically the same.
My MIL told me your not supposed to have a baby shower for your second child, only with your first, I've never heard of that????

That is a totally normal feeling. But you will always have that special bond with your first boy no matter what. Having two kids is different, but a lot of fun. It is hard work though. Is he getting a brother or sister?

I had my second when my daughter was three! I was so worried but actually it turned out to be great like it just went hand and hand and everything worked out like it should have! They are SO close now that they're both older which is nice! It'll go good for you mama!!! ❤

@sjo1 Thank you for that. I really needed a positive story. 😊

Absolutely!!! I was so worried! But we included our toddler in everything. Made her “mommies little helper” asked her to get things for mommy, easy stuff like a book, then we’d read it. So she was very helpful after delivery when I couldn’t move around a bunch...

@sadiesue0718 I love this! I know my son is so excited to be a big brother and I've talked to him about being Mommy's helper. He's always kissing & talking to my belly, asking if he can hold & kiss baby, it's really very sweet. I just don't ever want him to feel that he's not loved so I will definately make sure to keep him included in taking care of baby. 😊 Thank you for sharing that with me.

@nwmomma2, absolutely! When we went in for my sons check up I took my daughter because they share the same pediatrician. She asked how it was going and suggested that a simple hand on the shoulder is also helpful to the older child, encouraging words "mommy loves you" , "you're still my baby", "you're the best" would also help the older child cope with you being busy with the baby.
