How am i going to cope?
I am really wondering how i am going to cope with Night feeding 2 (toddler and newborn).
DS1 still wakes 2-3 times in the night for a BF, luckily he is next to me so i just pull out the boobs, he feeds, we both doze back to sleep. I have tried offering him Oat milk instead which he drinks from a cup during the day, but once he wants a BF there is no other option for him. He actually becomes hysterical and its not because he isn't getting what he wants, i sense theres some anxiety there, so i am happy to provide for as long as he needs it.
But how am i going to cope with DS2 night feeding as well??? who has done this?? will i get any sleep?
I'm also trying to work out my co-sleeping situation. The only way it will work is if i'm in between DS1 and DS2 so i can just roll over to whoever wants it at the time. Which means DS2 will need to go in some kind of safe co-sleeping thing - can you suggest one? That doesn't leave any room for poor DH :( So my other thought was to bring in DS1 single bed and put it next to our bed, have DS1 on that , then me, DS2 and DH on the other side.
has anyone been through this?? i'm getting a bit scared :(

Hey MummaB
Just wanted to say that I think you are amazing! :clap:...and I'm sure it will all work out somehow, hopefully someone who has BTDT has some great advice for you.

a friend of mine her daughter weaned because she said 'baby needs it! im ok' every time the toddler wanted a drink bubs would cry.
also another friend(yes i have a few tandem feeding friends) she co sleeps with both her children so would just roll over to which ever one needed it.
they had a queen size bed with a single next to it.
im not sure if youll get any sleep! i feed only one and dont!
good luck with it !
