Two under three #help
My first born was pretty easy. Our seven week old is not. I’m struggling because he gets over tired, takes ages to go to sleep, hates the pram and the car. It’s a bit of a nightmare, oh and he cries a LOT. It’s quite overwhelming.
I have my energetic three year old and the baby on Wednesdays. What on earth do I do with both of them?! The park is too much as the equipment is massive. I can’t safely supervise with a sleeping baby in a sling. There’s a local soft play but again feels hard to supervise, plus I want to interact with my child, I LOVE playing with him.
I struggle to do anything whilst I’m endlessly rocking the crying baby to get him to sleep. It feels like I’m neglecting my three year old and it’s so so hard. The baby is hard on his own but Wednesdays now sends me into a panic. What does everyone else do with two young children when the baby is sooooo fussy.

I had 17 months between my boys and the best thing I ever did was buy a Joie swing. It honestly saved my life and my sanity 😅 and white noise if you don’t already use it!

Hang in there I have a 2yo and a 3 month old She was a breeze when it came to sleep and settling, he is exactly like yours. Fussy, hates the pram and car (started hating the sling) so I’m pretty much stuck between a rock and a hard place there when it comes to them. I have them all the time as they refuse to settle with my partner so it can get tricky. Are there any activities that your eldest likes to do where you can still have the wee one on your shoulder or sling? Maybe get some painters plastic and set up a fun painting day or something like that? That way you can interact with the eldest whilst not loosing your mind over the youngest crying. Also if you ever need a talk let me know
