Re: Painless bedtime transition from 1 to 2 kids
My oldest was 31 mos and very attached to holding my hair to fall asleep when number two arrived. I asked a similar question leading up to the birth. It all worked out. We mostly all snuggled in my bed. Other times I would get the tiny one to sleep first then use a swing or bouncy while I got the toddler to sleep. Sometimes I wore them both. Sometimes the two yo would look at books while I bounced the baby on the yoga ball... Then it was his turn! Lol
You just make it work. It will work.
The night after our second was born oldest let Papa hold him so he could reach my hair while I nursed seated on the couch. The four of us were quite the site!! Lol. One of my favorite memories....
