This week’s ep is dedicated to one of our most requested topics- two under two! A lot of parents fear it but also a lot of parents live it (planned or not?!). We’ve both been there, done that, & survived the hardest of days juggling a newborn with a fresh toddler. Now that we are on the other side, we’re here to spread our survival tactics, share the best (& most difficult) parts of having two so close in age, & our opinion on if we’d recommend it or prefer to have a little bigger of an age gap. 

Key Takeaways:

• Tips for simultaneously juggling a newborn & energetic toddler 
• At what stage did 2 under 2 get easier for us
• How to know when you are ready for #2 
• Relationship changes after baby 1 vs baby 2
• Morning routine with two
• How to make sure the oldest sibling feels love with newborn getting a lot of attention 
• The transitions from 0-1 vs 1-2. Which we think is more difficult and why
• How to make sure the oldest sibling feels love with newborn getting a lot of attention
