Hi there When I was 20 I gave birth to our 4th child... so I had newborn, 12 month old, 3.5 yr old and 4.5 yr old! The youngest two are nearly two and three now and the boys are 5.5 and 6.5 but they very much keep me on my toes!

I love the close age gap and we were hoping to have another bub 15-18 months after #4 was born but unfortunately my body had other ideas and here we are still TTC.

For the first 6 months after my youngest was born as much as I tried to have a routine it just didnt work, i found too babies were rather unpredictible and yes I could have a basic structure to my day but it had to be open to things going out of line. I did make sure, and still do, that if I'm changing one I always do 'production line' and change the other as well.. this worked especially well when I had 3 in fulltime and one part time nappies lol I also still do this: one asks for a drink, I get all 4 a drink and then when they're ready they can drink it... things like that save a LOT of time because if i just do one for the one that asked 5 mins later another asks, and another 5 and another 5 you know what I mean? lol

I find being organised the night before helps a lot too especially as we have to be out the door early for school every day. I have all there clothes/shoes/socks/nappies layed out ready so in the morning im not having to find it all. If im going out for the day I also pack the nappy bag the night before and make up sandwhiches and pop them in the fridge.

I guess I'm always trying to save myself more time and stress in the mornings as they are stressful enough.

Okay now im rambling lol sorry!
