How do you handle two children under the age of 2 years?
Hi. I am about to have my second baby girl in about 3 weeks. I need advice on the best way to handle two very young children. My oldest little girl is only 14 months old and is very attached to me, I am not sure how she is going to take her mommy with another baby. I am new at this and my husband is away at boot camp, and i don't really have a support group. Does anyone have any advice?
My daughter turned 2 in March 2009 and I had my second in May 2009, so they are just around 2 years apart. I'm not going to lie.. it's difficult, but my husband and I manage. One problem that I see a lot with friends/family is the older child becomes jealous. We had that problem for a while with my daughter. We just kept her involved with the new baby. She would help grab a new diaper, or a bib.. anything. Just to keep her involved so she wouldn't feel left out. I know it will probably seem hard, but try and give your older daughter as much attention.. it will be hard if she feels left out. That's the best advice I can give (: Best of luck to you, and congratulations.
