Hiya

New to this I was wondering how other mums are coping with having babies so close together. Give me some
advice and vice versa.

I have 2 baby girls one born Aug 2013 and the other Aug 2014 I also have an almost 9yr old boy.

Sleep deprivation was a big issue at first but it comes with the territory and that only lasted 4 weeks. I get a good nights rest even though I go to bed late and I get to nap when both my girls are sleeping at the same time.

What I`m finding difficult is compartmentalysing my time and giving my babies the attention that they both require I am finding it very difficult it makes it even diffi ult when I`m breast feeding my youngest as it takes soo much longer than a bottle.

I know as they start to get older it will get easier. I just want to now how other mums in my situation are managing and what their going through

Go for natural mattress because natural cot mattress provides safety against toxic fumes and chemicals. http://www.latexcotmattress.com.au/accreditation/

My mother always used to read us stories while she breastfed, so it was quality time with all the under 5's :)

Being affectionate towards the two of them when they're together will help. You could also set a time each day for you and the older one to have quality time, as well as another time for you and the younger one to be together. This will work if your husband or a relative is around to take care of the other one, while you're having some bonding time with the other. It's very challenging but it's actually fulfilling! :)
