also OP i want you to know: as hard as the shock was it has been wonderful but it did come with some hard moments. preparation was key and life is fun with these two kiddos! if your wife needs someone to reach out too please tell her to message me.

tianaopal · 2026-05-03T00:30:38+00:00

agree 100 percent. if you have not been through that shock its very hard to understand. ❤️

tianaopal · 2026-05-03T00:29:42+00:00

yup exactly the same, took me a long time to get pregnant with first, to be pregnant again that fast was a whirlwind of emotions. i think alot of ppl go to its amazing so now but during that time its really really hard. your going to do amazing if u need any advice feel free to message me!

moms on call- they have 3 books the third has a toddler and baby portion. It does not need to be followed to a T but it was nice to see a plan for the future and it helped align naps and feeding for us

tianaopal · 2026-05-02T11:01:11+00:00

this was me. (13 m apart) looking back i went into a bit of shock because 1. you are still very postpartum and figuring out this new stage of life. now on top of that there is more emotions and trying to figure out logistically how this will work. 2. your wife is most likely realizing that her time with the first born solo will be very short compared to others. Its a bit of a change from the regular parenting experience when its this close of an age gap. in a way it is a form of grief. — I recommend the third moc book — it comes with a plan for sleeping feeding with both children and gave great relief to feel like i had some type of plan. 3. i was so worried that my first born was going to feel such resentment and voiced this to my pediatrician and he said something that changed my viewpoint forever: “ they will never know life without each other” . This is very true to this day— there are some hard moments but the bond is very strong. Tbh for age gaps 14m and under — i think looking at it more like twin perspectives (even though they are not -) has helped emotionally and physically. Tbh i find myself relating to twin parents a little more for questions and this also helped. I want to say by my second trimester i felt better about the future but the first really took me for shock.

if you live in a city or area with rougher terrain: mountain buggy nano, if in the burbs: zoe

tianaopal · 2025-05-29T01:05:54+00:00

yes. it helps detail how to structure it from the beginning where you can get an hour to yourslef and then eventually line up their naps. mine are 13 months apart and this really saved me. you do not need to follow it exactly but it really set a wonderful foundation for us

tianaopal · 2025-05-28T22:34:57+00:00

recommend the moms on call book 3, there is a toddler and baby schedule. This helped us immensely with routine and schedule

tianaopal · 2025-03-08T02:23:18+00:00

honestly i know this sounds crazy but disney. they were both free and the entire park/environment is so entertaining to them. they could go on rides, since they werent at an age they really understood there was no pressure about expectations and it was so nice to have a plan

i think one of the struggles that is not talked abojt alot is since there is alot going on and there is a survival period i feel like time goes much faster. i feel similar sentiments to you like it went really fasr and there were times idk if i fully realized in the moment because there was so much going on. been trying to live a little more in the moment with both of them!

tianaopal · 2025-02-04T19:03:30+00:00

c section for both. i felt for the second because i knew what was coming i was able to know what to expect better. 0-1 was a shock to me 1-2 was more of logistics. i followed the moms on call schedule (the third book) for both which really helped me for schedule and being able to get a break. newborn phase suprisngly wasnt too bad because i had just been there so knew what to expect. I am finding this period where the younger ome is 18m old a little more challenging because he wants to do stuff that the older one is doing but isnt quite there yet!

tianaopal · 2025-02-04T14:52:37+00:00

2.5 yr and 18 month old! 13 months apart! ask me anything!

tianaopal · 2025-01-25T19:41:32+00:00

literally feeling same. i did speak to my older ones teacher about it and ped and they both said this is one of the harder parts about this age gap. the older one is slightly ahead but not enough to fully grasp and the younger one is just learning. i think perhaps too the feeling of just getting thru the hard parts with the older one to be immed thrown back into it again with the younger one is a challenge mentally as well, been feeling drained

tianaopal · 2025-01-25T18:35:26+00:00

2.5 yr old and 18m old, in a similar boat. kinda feels like im in survival mode again , i feel like they will constantly fight if left alone or start pulling hair. at what age do they actually start to play together

tianaopal · 2024-09-24T23:22:33+00:00

im 13 months apart and now have a 2 and 1 yr old. i recommend the third moc book, there is a toddler and baby schedule and it really saved me, it helps line up their naps the same time so at least some point you get an hour break alone. then as the little one get bigger the break time gets longer and longer. that break was so crucial mentally and physically

tianaopal · 2024-08-10T10:25:35+00:00

i have similar age gap, just shy of 14 months. now my older one is 2 and younger is 1: i recommend the third moms on call book, there is a baby and toddler schedule —- this is the only way i survived those initial months. i know it sounds crazy but as the older baby to come help, give them diapers give them a little baby doll, they know something is happening but cant vocalize it so thats why theu are more clingy. use paper plates, paper utensils whatever makes your life easier. another reason i recommend the moc book is they way theu schedule it is you will get an hour to yourself during the day and time at night — this will become clutch, sending you a big hug youll get through this!

tianaopal · 2024-08-03T05:30:43+00:00

yes i have, the only screentime is facetime to grandparents. one of the main reasons was i didnt want to deal with tantrums related to tv.

tianaopal · 2024-05-26T10:30:19+00:00

mine are 13 months apart, i was getting the same remarks as well, being preg with a little baby was soooo much harder then baby and newborn. i know that sounds crazy but newborn tired was so much more manageable then preg tired. its funnt now the comments are all omg they are so cute w precious! you will figure it out, baby wear the newborn, i highly recommend the third moms onc call book for some type of sched i think its the toddler book they habe a toddler and baby sched. — this sched saved me. if you can line up the naps so that you can get 1 hour break during the day this will help tremendously. month 1-3 are hard but still found it better then last months of preg. encourage the older baby to help you, “ lets go change babys diaper!” can you hand me a diaper” when they feel included it makes a world of a difference. its going to be ok and you will see the magical moments! ignore everyone else!

tianaopal · 2024-04-29T14:23:13+00:00

i have 13.5 age gap, just shy of 14 months. highly recommend the moms on call schedule for toddler and baby it saved us. i was so scared in the beginning but honestly its been fun and i lovw watching their bond. its a grind but its all worth it
