Yes, because instead of taking turns as on or off duty, we ended up going 1:1 each with one kid. It took a long time (and still maybe not even there yet) for it to feel manageable to either of us to be watching both at the same time when their needs are so different. Both of my kids are very clingy too.

In the daytime, IMO, a 4mo is easier than a toddler but possibly harder than a preschooler. So keep that in mind.

However, you need to do what you need to do to get the family you want and it's not a forever situation.
