2 under 2 moms

I have my 19 month old and 1 month old for 16 hours a day by myself. I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do with DD to keep her busy while caring for DS.

What is your day/routine like? Suggestions on activities? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not very creative on my ownChat Icon

Poor DS gets stuck in the swing alot!! I find it hard to do playgroups, etc because DS doesn't have his shots yet.

Also parks are hard because how do I run after DD with the newborn.

I don't know why I cna't figure this all outChat Icon

It's hard to do structured activities with DD. DS is still a little needy. So I usually go for 2 walks a day. I am still carless so I can't even go anywhere with them.

DD doesn't always like to sit in the strollerChat Icon but I'm going to give it a shot.

Do you just play games inside the rest of the day? What type of stuff.

Re: 2 under 2 moms

how about the playground at times that it's not too hot, library activities (after the baby has his shots).

I know what you mean, except my daughter is 3. She is used to the summer being our time to do a ton of things and now that I have little man we are limited. She is asking this morning to go to the beach and it's just not an option with him, he will be 2 months tomorrow. I feel bad for her. Getting her in the double stroller or the sit and stand is a battle. She wants HER single stroller. She is/has issues with her brother even being here. So I am limited with her. Yesterday we went to target. She refuses to walk or go in the shopping cart or ride one of the other kid friendly carts, I had to carry her and push the cart at the same time. Sadly it's going to be a boring summer for us this year. Other than having her in dance class that's all I can really do with her.

I feel your pain.
