no advice from me either cos i'm not there yet either but like GG, i wanted to jump in & offer a massive and say that i am positive you're doing a wonderful job & that i can't imagine how hard it must be for you today - esp with a sick LO as well. hope you manage to get some rest when your DH gets home
You're doing a great job - cos you haven't run out the door away from them yet
You'll find your rhythm and how to make it work But yeah, I always had food on hand for DS when he was little, and had to feed DD1. Or books, he was happy to sit next to me with a book. Or I fed her on the floor next to him playing.
You just do what you gotta do I suppose - it'll be fine.
FWIW - I found it MUCH easier when DD2 came along, cos DD1 and DS would play together a lot, so that took the pressure off me to entertain the youngest one
When I had my 2 boys only 22 months apart I loved my front harness thingy lol (can't remember the name of it) I could still hold bubs and tend to toddler. When DS2 needed feeding DS1 usually watched or played on the floor at my feet. It is harder when 1 is sick but you just have to work out which one needs the most at the time. Take a deep breath and keep going. You will be fine xxx
