I have a 21 month old and due in June with baby #2. How difficult is it having 2 babies under 2?
Mine are 22mths apart. It’s really hard in the beginning but it gets so much easier as they get a little older!!
Mine are 22 months apart. The newborn stage was rough. My oldest didn't understand I was pregnant nor did he understand why this baby was in his house. He demanded a lot of extra attention so I made sure when he needed his attention he got it. Luckily my baby was amazing, and very go with the flow. He loved his sleep too so that helped. After 2 months or so we all got into a routine and things became easier.
Once the baby turned 6 months and wasn't so fragile they became instant best friends and now are 14 months and 3 years and they're inseparable.
I had a 21 month gap with my first and second. I really didn’t find it that bad, but my son (the baby) was a sweet angel so that helped! I did find that I was housebound a lot because I was anal about both kids getting naps and sticking to a routine. But that part of our life was over so quickly 😭
Mine are 11 months apart.... at first it was soooo hard! The 11 mo old wasn’t walking or sleeping through the night yet AND I had a newborn. But after about a year, it was amazing! They are 5&6 now, the best of friends. It’s not as hard as you think it will be.
I feel like it'll be extremely hard at first but eventually will get easier the older my son gets and the older the baby gets.. Idk. Me and my sister are 22 months apart and we ate literally the best of friends. I'm hoping the same with my kids!
My boys are 19 months apart! they are 2 and 5 months right now. It’s tough some days but i honestly so happy they are close together. They are just starting to interact with each other. My 2 year old is actually making my 5 month old laugh on the daily. They love each! My 2 year old is very protective over his brother. So don’t mess with him ahaha (he doesn’t mess around on his big brother duties)
@mimixtmn thanks! My son has a schedule. Nap at 12/1 pm and goes to bed at 9. I hope this schedule stays when baby comes
Not going to lie. It is difficult.
I had dd#2 when dd#1 had just turned 1 and she didnt even walk. Let me tell you that making it to the car with a toddler, a carseat and a diaper bag was a nightmare!
I am a sahm and so most of the time I had to run errands alone. Still do most things alone.
But you will the strength and everything will become easier with time.
I had my third 8 days before my 2nd turned 2.. it wasn’t that bad but my 2nd was on a strict bedtime & nap schedule. If your little one isn’t already on a schedule I’d def try and get him on one now.
I'm looking forward to it but I'm also a but nervous. A friend of mine who just had her 2nd child under 2 said its the hardest thing and she cried and cried. I just don't feel like the extra stress.
Girl i have 3 under 3!!! Youll get used to eventually and will be on a schedule in no time. My little man is 6 weeks and ds1 is 18 mo and dd is 2 yo shell b 3 n june It was crazy hectic hard the first 3 weeks but its getting easier
