My 2 are 18 months and 4 days apart!!

We had a present for DS1 from DS2 when he came to hospital to visit. I also made sure that I was not holding baby when DS1 arrived.

Its hard work for 6 weeks but after that I found things much easier!! (May also be I could drive then after my cs)

Invest in a good carrier (close carrier I used from start until recently when changed to ergo as DS2 older)

DS1 did not start walking until 21 months.
When I sat to feed DS2 I always made sure DS1 was changed, had water and a snack. I also had some toys in a special bag that he got to play with while I fed DS2.

Books and jigswas are good as u can help 1 handed.

DS1 is pretty good at playing on his own, and will sit and play with blocks or what ever. ABC2 and wiggles DVD's are also great!!

My biggest hurdle to over come was fact DS1 was and still is BF and would want a feed when I was feeding DS2, so sometimes I had 1 on each side other times DS1 waited till DS2 was asleep again.

Good luck and enjoy watching them grow together! DS1 is always giving DS2 cuddles and kisses!!
