two lo's under 3?

[jaytee146]

Are there any ladies who have two little ones under 3? If so how do you do it? were you worried about money and how do you cope? How do you make time for dd1 while caring for dd2?

Just wondering,

and just let me say my hat goes off to you ladies as my 15 month old is ALOT right now I can't imagine having another addition and going at this alone for the second time... ALthough I really there is a strong possibility I could be in this position now. I'm scared to be honest.

Hi, I have 3 under 3. Have a little boy who is 3 in April, a 17 month old boy and a 5 month old girl. It's very hard at the moment as my 17 month old is very clingy. Sometimes I wonder how I cope. I don't really live near any family although I'm moving closer to them in a few weeks
I got out of an abusive relationship about 3 weeks ago so it's all very new to me x

Oh wow ^^ 3 under 3! It will be so worth it when they grow up so close!
I had 2 under 2. And it's not as bad as you think. My first lo was 15 months when #2 was born. I would read books and play puzzles while breastfeeding, I had lots of snacks etc in arms length at all times. My lo was not too clingy, and may have watched too many cartoons in the early days but we got thru it. And it is so worth it
!

I know what you mean about the cartoons lol the only time they get turned off is when they go to bed. I normally put the baby under her play gym and spend as much time as possible with the boys, I'm always scared of leaving one out x

congratulations hon I know its scary right now but it'll be OK. I had 2 under 3 my LO was 26 months when my second LO was born. I honestly didn't find it that much different to just having 1 other than the night feeds and not being able to nap in the day when baby did, I just made sure that my oldest LO and youngest both took a nap at the same time from as soon as I could so I had at least 20 mins to cat nap with them, and got them into the same routine, and I got pretty used to being sleep deprived lol.

As they got older they play and occupy each other its lovely. The only problem I really have is bed time. They share a room and just want to play and mess around -.-

Jaytee146 I remember you from our pregnancy! I am now a single mommy too!

How far along are you with this one? Have you told him yet? Any possible chance you will work it out with him?

I had two under 2s until a few months ago. My girls are 6 months and 2 years old.
Most days are o.k. After the first 6 weeks you learn how to manage and get in to a routine. My 2 year old understands if the baby is fussing, she sometimes asks her what's the matter? When baby is napping I'm with my 2 year old and we all do as much as possible together I.E Breakfast time, girls eat then mummy, they often bath together so their bed times are the same and get them out the house playgroups ,walks etc.Then you have mad days like this week we was all sick, lots of crying making me want to pull my hair out and the baby is super clingy making it even harder to go anywhere without the kid. I have no help from their dad it's a whole on going court drama.
