You will take 10X less photos and videos of #2 fight this instinct It’s harder on mom than the first one, she will probably feel guilty for not giving attention to #1 Generally it’s very hard on Mom, she needs a ton of grace and support You’re gonna do awesome, there are no rules

you take the oldest, mom youngest, this is the default setup and then can switch up when needed/nice but its good for oldest to have a safe space w you sleep in separate rooms (you sleep w oldest) this all helps keeping distinct roles during nightly burdens, flu seasons, outbursts of jelousy etc

Your oldest needs you guys way more than the new born. Shower them with attention and love. If both are crying, let the newborn cry and attend to older first. And congratulations!

It becomes easier with logistics because you've purchased everything you need from your first endeavor, but now you may encounter sibling jealousy. Have your second child buy a gift for your first to smooth things over.

Enjoy the messy, exhausted moments! They go by so fast & they are amazing x2! Take all the help, shortcuts & easy ways out with food, cleaning & all house stuff. + what everyone said about caring for your oldest!

Alright. This is important. You may think that your first one is stable and good. Maybe other family members are helping. Maybe you already have a great relationship with the first one. But it’s is critical, absolutely critical to give ample attention to the first. It will be hard. But they will notice the difference. Even if they can’t speak or articulate the difference they will notice the change. And it will affect them. Keep this in mind.

Our second just turned 3 so we’re out of the woods. “Hard for us, good for them” was a helpful mantra. #2 is way easier and stays that way until they start walking
