    If you can set up a little activity box now, it'd help tremendously when the NB is screaming that they want a boob.  

    Puzzles, Melissa & Doug beading activity, Gerber Puffs plastic bottle with hole punches in the lid and pipe cleaners to thread through the holes, etc.  Anything you know that will capture their attention, just throw it in the boob box.  Put it somewhere out of sight, but easily accessible.  When baby calls, just grab the box, sit close by with the newborn and let it happen as it may.  

    Good luck!! :)

    DD2 does independent play pretty well, but, we have buckets of toys under the coffee table, she'll go into her sister's room and "read" books (which means also pulling half of them off the shelves), sometimes we'll read on the couch and when push comes to shove there is an exercise trampoline in our living room (husband's idea) so if she is rambunctious I tell her to go jump.  We do have the TV on more now than I would like but we will watch 1 show then turn it off and go play.

    My toddler does independent play really well, but we also read books or play trains together, watch tv, color, ect while I'm nursing. I just nurse in the living room near all her toys.

    Independent play is great. My DD has a toy chest in her room that she just takes toys out of the play. I also have one of those baby gates that is enclosed in a rectangle so she has her own little play space while I am with my son. She has toys in there as well that she plays with.
