newly single mom

[rockabillymom]

Well looks like I will be joining the single mommys club. I have one beautiful 16 month old and another little girl on the way. I was with my ex for 2 and a half years and we had 2 children in that time. We've had a rocky relationship from the start and I was single when I was 9 monthes pregnat with my first daughter as well when he cheated then left us for 3 monthes. I guess you live and learn. Anyways is there anyone else out there that is a mommy of a newborn and a baby? How do you handle it? Do your LO's spend the nights with there dad even newborns? I guess there is so much im curious about and trying to figure out how to handle.

I only have one kid and hes 10 months and fob was never involved. So i dont really have much to say but you know if you breastfeed he cannOt take the baby overnight. If you dont work or have off work and you can breastfeed the court CANNOT force you to give your baby a bottle so he can go over to FOBs. Hope that helped some good luck

My son is 17 months and I'm also pregnant so almost the exact same as you. Im not sure how I'll handle I just know I will since I don't have a choice. Luckily I have a lot of family around and that helps.

I've only the one child and I'm in the uk so may be different but I doubt it, here how it works is that visitation etc is based on what is best for the child/baby and a little baby being away from its mother isn't going to benefit the child any so chances of him getting it over night are pretty much zero.

I'm not sure but I think professionals don't recommend too small babies to sleep over with the other parent as they need to be with the one that cares for them quite a lot. I think the suggested age for sleep overs is above 2,5 years.
