I'm sorry if this has been asked before. I've had a hunt through old threads, but can't find anything.

When you had your second baby, I'm just curious as to how long it took for things to settle down, for you to find a rhythm of sorts with a newborn and an older child. Was it longer if you had a baby with a medical problem? Easier with an older child? How often did your routine go up in smoke?

Just thinking Trying to prepare a bit, so I don't feel overwhelmed if I'm pacing the hallway in the middle of the night with a crying baby lol.

DD will be 3 years four months when bubba arrives. I think it took me a good six weeks to settle into a routine with her when she was born.
