To all the mommas that have had or have babies that are a year or less apart how did you do it. My daughter keeps throwing tantrums cause I won’t let her be rough with him and she’s had a really bad attitude since I had him and I’m pretty much alone with the two of them so any suggestions to help me get through this first year let alone week would be great
@tosha6, yeah I’ve only got her and she’s only 1 and she just turned 1 so she’s not much help lol
Having my kids help with baby is what worked with my kids I also breastfeed but my youngest likes to sit next to me while baby eats I can tell u it gets easier it's just hard in the beginning soon she'll love him so much
@nlock In a few months I'll be able to relate to this struggle and things will probably be easier for you by then!
@mother.of.2, yes that’s my daughter all the way and it’s gotten worse since giving birth
@nlock I'm nervous because my daughter is a serious daddy's girl. He's with her all day, so she's very attached to him. I'm scared when I go back to work and it's just him with the 2 of them she's going to get really jealous and upset. I know it really isn't much help and I'm sorry I don't have any advice or suggestions for you, but you got this! I know from reading your posts you're a strong woman and a great mama, you can do it ❤
@nlock I will be breastfeeding also and my sons always on me like a jungle gym so eeeek, super nervous.
@tee-uh16, you have 2 boys maybe that’s a good thing lol my daughter seems to hate her brother lol she tries to help but she doesn’t do anything with the diapers or the bottles she actually just tried to help burp him then started to get a bit aggressive so that had to come to an end
@mother.of.2, @emily526, my daughter is just not having none of this every time I pick her brother up she has to throw a fit and I’m breastfeeding and he’s really cluster feeding right now and she gets so mad because she can’t be right on top of me anymore 😩😩😩 hubby is out everyday looking for a job so I’m just struggling trying to figure this out
My boys are 1 year and 9 days apart. I let ds1 be involved as much as I could. He would grab babies diapers and wipes and would throw the diaper away. I would let him help hold the babies bottle during feedings. He really just wanted to help and be near his brother. It will get easier!!
@nlock I know u just keep asking and eventually she will catch on my 1yo loves to help I was worried about him but he's loved since day 1 lol
