@mommagabb0: 1. If your oldest is a boy, you just can't compare the way they interact with your friends who have girls. Hate me for saying it- but girls are just made to nurture and love on a baby in a different way. Your son may not have that vibe, and that's ok! It will come. They will bond as your baby can PLAY. 2. Give yourself permission to be flexible with screen time. Sometimes your toddler needs something calming like the Pok Pok app while you feed the baby, and that's okay. A coloring activity or a few minutes of screen time can give you the extra hands you wish you had. You don't have to do it all! 3. Your second baby will seem both so much smaller and seem to age so much faster. 4. Routines will save YOU. Routines > Schedules. Flexibility within a framework. The best way to ensure you get solo time to reset is for your days to have predictable patterns. 5. When you first get home, you may have moments of grieving your old routines with just one baby. It's ok. It's normal. Before you know it the ease that you move throughout your days with will return. And you will not yearn for the old routines, because the new are even sweeter. • #boymom #momof2 #positivemotherhood #momadvice #pokpokpartner
