Hear what parents and experts have to say about low quality infant/toddler care.
In the beginning it’s relaly hard, but like having the first baby, you will adjust to having two. My 3.5 yo DD goes to daycare 3 days a week and I treasure those days I just have the infant. When big sis is home though, it is a juggling act! Between me and my two girls, one of us or all of us is either hungry, sleepy, or needs to pee/poo… and what do you do when you are the caregiver but just prioritize and manage it all one by one. My parents helped for 10 days in the beginning and then DH took a week off… I wish I had more help, but just having DD in daycare is huge. And when at home she does play by herself a lot if I’m tending to #2. When I’m nursing we play board games together. When #2 is napping, it’s our special time together too. A baby carrier is also essential these days!!
