I’m due my second in october! I honestly can’t wait to have my little boy and soon to be his little sister! We’ve got this!💙💜

I had my second in January. I'm surviving- you can too 🥴

I had my second in November, it’s not easy at first but you’ll find a routine eventually and it’ll become the norm , you’ve got this!💗

1-2is hard but anything after is so much easier x

I’m due my second in Feb 25 too! Got alllll the mixed emotions about it 🤪Someone I know that’s recently gone to 2 said it’ll be hard and might take a while to find a new routine, but eventually it’ll feel like the norm!

I'm due my 2nd in August and I'm terrified... but excited also! But everyone tells me the pregnancy and toddler is harder than the toddler and newborn so I'm just hoping that's true because this 3rd trimester with a boy who likes to tantrum is tough! But we've got this X

Following because we are planning #2 but I am frankly more terrified of baby #2 than I was of baby #1 🤣

I had a little girl in April this year. My main concern was how my toddler would react, and it has been absolutely adorable, he's obsessed. I set up the next to me, swing seat, downstairs crib etc a month before, so he would get used to things, telling him a baby would be using these etc. I had a planned section, so the other worry was how I'd manage to look after two, and again it was all absolutely fine. I got a little gift from baby to him (although he didn't understand that, so not really needed). Once my husband was back to work, I got back into my toddlers favourite things, going to the parks, mums and tots, gymnastics etc. Trying to ensure those things didn't change, stuck to his bath/ bed routine as normal, although now doesn't bath unless baby is involved 🤣 both love each other, baby is the happiest when she hears his voice. Also trying to get baby to sleep through noise is helpful 😄 Absolutely bloody chaos, but worth it all.

I had my second born son in may and it's hard at first! But after a few weeks I got a routine back and it's been easier but I also had emergency c section which I think was harder too as I was sore as well! Now my toddler loves his brother, always wants to be involved and loves a cuddle! It even in our routine now after breakfast/ bottle cuddles 🥰 I find being out and getting fresh air helps me alot and my toddler is a whirlwind so deffo helps him burn off energy too! Also mid potty training too 🥴 but it's so worth it!! I love seeing them together and seeing their bond grow x

I’ve gone from 1 to 2 - both April babies but 2 years apart. I was surprised at how well my toddler took to her little brother, he’s 3 months old now and they smile at each other all the time. It’s been a really positive time for me and I couldn’t imagine my life without my new baby boy in. Newborn sleep hasn’t been as tiring as I thought it would be. Baby has been in the carrier loads so I’ve had lots of time for my toddler. Things seem nicely balanced at the moment. Im so in love with my two children and feel very grateful for them 🥰

I’ve got a 3 month old, it was hard at first because you can’t leave them alone in the same room incase the toddler does something to the baby (my toddler keeps trying to feed the baby with the spoon etc). But seeing their little bond is so sweet. Currently trying to get my baby to sleep and my toddler is just in the room mithering/shouting which is also annoying. You get into a routine after the first month or so and then it’s more enjoyable!

I've got almost 5 and their was 14month between my first 2 and they all play and get in great xx

Yeaah I had my second in February, not going to lie it is hard but it’s rewarding and seeing your first born love their sibling is truely magical xx

I’ve already had my second, November 2023 (there’s 19m between them) and well 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 Although jts hard but also watching them grow together and play and build a connection is worth it

Had my second in April and the first couple weeks were the hardest just getting used to it but personally feel it’s been a lot easier going 1-2 then 0-1. I love it and my son loves his baby sister ( and she lights up when she sees him!) We’ve all adapted and feels like she’s always been with us. Also helps I’ve got a better sleeper this time around! Wish I hadn’t worried so much when pregnant

I had my 2nd 10 weeks ago and I’ll be honest because no one was with me, it’s bloody hard, but you survive!! We’re just trying to find our rhythm. Best advice I can give is slow down, no pressure to go out (I did loads with my first) and even if all you do is get them to sleep and feed them each day then that’s enough!

Had my second in January… nearly 6 months into it now. Survival is surprisingly easy! Found 1-2 way easier than 0-1!
