#2 is due in about two weeks and today is probably one of the first times I've really felt overwhelmed at the idea of 2 under 2.
DS just had his 1 year well visit and I feel like I don't have him on enough of a routine/schedule - he doesn't like table food, just starting to transition to cow's milk, he's been sick so sleep schedule is all funky right now. But I feel trying to start a schedule right now is a bit crazy since the baby will be here anytime.
How long should I expect to not have a schedule with the baby? Is this normal pre 2u2 anxiety? Any other advice/encouragement? Thanks ladies

I've never had my oldest on a schedule and we've survived and thrived with 2u2. So far, it's actually been pretty manageable overall. Some weeks are tough, like when you have a teething toddler and a newborn that eats nonstop, but overall the experience hasnt been as hard as I anticipated. Some days, dare I say, I find it pretty easy. I do realize the sh!t is going to hit the fan when I have 2 toddlers, so I'm trying to enjoy this easy patch for now.
I wouldnt worry about the milk issue, but try to get him eating table foods (as much as you can over the next few weeks). I have to say, I think 2u2 would have been about 54783957348958394 harder if my DS didnt self feed and I had to do bottles with him multiple times a day as well.
agree. It seems overwhelming at first, but you figure it out and it gets easier. good luck!
