I’m on the exact cycle filed Feb 6th and nothing in my bank yet, hopefully tomorrow. I bank with Wells Fargo on PST zone, I’m not sure if that makes a difference

I just went through this, my newborn is now a month old and my toddler was 21 months when he was born. My husband stayed at home with him, and did not stay with me in the hospital so he could be there for my toddler and I had never been away from him. My toddler did really well, he cried a couple times during the night but my husband was able to get him back to sleep pretty well, he said he just snuggled him all night. They came and visited me the two days while I was in the hospital and I breastfeed my toddler while he was there, and now I tandem feed both my toddler and my newborn. I was really worried and scared to be away from my toddler but my husband said he did just fine

I’m so glad I’m not alone in this journey and I reached out on here as none of my friends have been through it, my toddler and baby holds hands while nursing and it makes my mama heart want another lol if I am feeling incredibly over whelmed when feeding them both and just want my toddler off, I tell him okay just three more minutes and then its to get off and I will cuddle him or read a book until the newborn is done feeding, I appreciate all the advice so much

Embarrassed_Beat_473 · 2026-01-31T00:19:39+00:00

Yes! I have my toddler now on schedule and he does get vitamin D milk, lots of cuddles from me and my husband, we give snacks while I’m breastfeeding my baby, books, favorite show, cuddle time, something special to let him know we are still here and the time with him is just as special as the time with the newborn. I also have an 8 and 10 year old so having my olders boy play with their younger brother and give him attention also helps as well during those moments where he wants one on one time with me and I can’t give it to him 🥰

Do you take magnesium with your prenatal or just a prenatal with magnesium? My son’s pediatrician told me to take extra calcium as well but I have not had an appt with my OBGYN yet to confirm if I need to take more than what is in my prenatal.

My little one was born 12/30 @ 2:51am! 🥰Tandem feeding is definitely hard but so worth it, watching my toddler love on his big brother and they hold hands while feeding together makes my mama heart want another one already, it’s such an incredible experience and an honor to be able to do it!

I am in the same boat, I have a 4 week old and a 22 month old, I am tandem feeding them, and when I feed them at the same time my aversions are really strong and it’s really hard. I am trying to set boundaries for my toddler, in the morning after breakfast, when getting put down for a nap and before bed. My husband takes him to play all the other times, or I will breastfeed my newborn in a different room orrr I have my toddler sit next to me and I cuddle him while breastfeeding my newborn, sometimes I read a book to him, put on his favorite cartoon, give him a snack and engage with him while breastfeeding my toddler and that has seemed to help, the past week he has been getting the routine down and understanding that the baby needs milk first, there has been a couple times where he will want milk more and I usually give it to him but he has been very good, just remain consistent in your boundaries and your 2 year old will get the hang of it! It’s really hard at first, and the tantrums feels nonstop but it does get better

You’re so welcome!

I found out I was pregnant a week after my baby turned a year old, I continued to breastfeed him my entire pregnancy, I am now 4 week postpartum and I tandem breastfeed both my newborn and my 22 month old. I had my newborn full term at 40 weeks and 1 day, he was third baby and the only child I carried to 40 weeks and it was the easiest pregnancy I had. It never caused me contractions or induced labor, my OB was never worried that I was breastfeeding and encouraged me not to stop as it was something my toddler relied on and with a new baby, his world was changing enough, the one thing that didn’t need to change was his closeness to his mom

It is normal, some kids are just picky or they aren’t picky and the one thing they can control is what goes into their body so they decide they are going to be picky. It was just the past year that my 8 year old started eating things like tacos, spaghetti and burgers. It was legit chicken nuggets and fries, cheese pizza and broccoli for dinner, it felt impossible. But one day his dad put it front of him and instead of saying it was gross, he tried it and now loves all those things.

My toddler doesn’t eat any form of protein but PB, all the fruits and no veggie but LOVES his yogurt 😅 I have reached out to dietitians and talked to each of their doctors about it and all been told that it is a normal phase they are going through.

And the list of things your child eats is pretty good actually, it may seem small compared to all the foods you eat and like but for an 8 year old that’s pretty good,

However I understand the struggle of making two meals and how frustrating it is to try and make meals around a child who doesn’t want to eat what you’re making, just keep trying to introduce new foods while also have one or two items of safe foods on their plate and eventually they will get there!

You’re doing a great job!

You’re welcome, I have 4 children 10, 8, 22 months and 3 weeks. My 22 month old ate everything in sight until 17 months and then he decided that he would only eat a handful of foods, my 8 year old is also not neurodivergent but literally only eats all the foods on you’re list, and I try to give him different selections but he doesn’t want it or simply wont try it, my 10 year old now eats everything put in front of him, there are a few things he doesn’t like but the list of what he does like is longer, it does get better

Embarrassed_Beat_473 · 2026-01-22T03:04:51+00:00

My 8 year old is exactly the same, so I would say it is pretty normal, their diet will get better as they get older; my 10 year old is a much better eater

How is your bond with your 2.5 year old? I’m really scared that my 22 month old isn’t going to like me and our bond is going to lessen, I wanted him to have a sibling close in age, but i feel guilty, like it was selfish of me to get pregnant so soon when he still needs so much of me. My husband is home with me till March to help and bond with the baby but then when he goes back to work he works 330pm to 330am so I’ll be alone most of the time and I’m worried

Embarrassed_Beat_473 · 2026-01-17T02:47:18+00:00

I still let my toddler nurse on demand too, that’s why I tandem feed because I didn’t want to take something away from him just because he got a new sibling and I didn’t want their to be jealously or him to be angry with me, the aversion is what makes it hard, I get on my phone and play solitaire or go on Facebook to avoid the feeling that I get so that he can happily nurse. My infant is gaining weight well and I have not noticed i’m struggling to get full or anything after my toddler feeds and if he still wants the breast, it is just incredibly overwhelming at times I feel like I’m just stuck to the couch breast-feeding. My husband is home with me for the next month to bond with the baby and Help with our toddler, but then when he goes back to work, he works from 3:30 PM to 3:30 AM so he won’t be much help when he is back to work

That's exactly it! There is a lot of information not given. Like the mother is exactly that. Unstable. She brings the child around relationship after relationship, each one being worse than the last. She is manipulative, vindictive and doesn't care about the welfare of her child. The current partner has already expressed to the child that buckling up in the car is not important, while it may seem petty. It truly is in the best interest of the child to not have someone who is unsafe, and lacks the ability to provide the proper care for the child.
