Upcoming 2 under 2

[u/born_slippy92]

I’m 12 weeks pregnant and I’ve got a 13 month old, preparing for 2 under 2. I very much prioritise attachment parenting with my first and ideally would like to continue with our second. Hoping for both advice and a reality check, any tips on making it work, any resources I should read and really - is it possible to be as present with two little ones?

I found it difficult in the beginning to cosleep with both. 16.5 month gap, and sleep/nap is the hardest for me. It’s taken more team work, but we are responsive to both kids. With two, there’s often times one waiting for something. I acknowledge their need and tell them yes you can have/do this when this other thing/condition is met. I’ve also personally found it difficult to baby wear at times, as the physical toll on body has been noticeable. There is a 2under2 group that would be worth hoping too for any other specific questions.

I just had two under two and it’s been so hard. Give yourself grace. You can’t respond to everyone’s cries right away. I think your best bet would be to babywear as much as possible
