How I handle 2 under 2 (5 tips from a mom of 6)

As a mom pregnant with my 6th kid in 8 years, here are a few things have learned when it comes to handling 2 under 2 👶👶❤️❤️

There is so much more to cover when it comes to this so if you have any specific questions, drop them in the comments and I'II do my best to answer them 🤗

I need you to remember that this all just a season. This isn't your new normal. My first two are 17 months apart, are now 8 and 6 years old, and are THE best of friends! This time is so small in the grand scheme of things when it comes to the lifetime you will have with your children. I promise every bit of it is worth it and I promise you will find your groove eventually.

What are some of your tips when it comes to 2 under 2??

"This is not your new normal, it's just a season " . YES! Wish I'd known that with my first child

“Here’s how I manage the house: I don’t.” is definitely the most relatable. 😂

You’re so lucky to have a husband that thinks family/house stuff isn’t just your job. I hope your life is really a beautiful as it looks, because the world needs as much of that as it can get.

This made me cry. So many people stress the cleaning and lose their minds but if you focus on babe you’ll be happier and healthier and not miss those moments that truly matter! ❤

My tip is to be emotionally available to toddler even if youre not physically available. Especially during nursing its so easy to zone out and be on our phones. Or doing chores and listening to YouTube or a podcast. But in those situations we are both physically and emotionally unavailable. Instead i find my toddler reacts well to reading and engaging with him while I nurse. Having my attention freed up for a million "whys" while I clean or making it into a dance party where he "helps". I might not always be available to hold him or cuddle but my attention is available.

As a mama who just had my 3rd baby 7 weeks ago, I fully agree with all this!! I had baby #3 a month and a half before my oldest turned 3!! So I had 3 babies, 2 and under for 6 weeks!!!😅😅 Life is amazing and crazy all at the same time😊🥰

This made me cry. Life with littles does go by so fast, but is the sweetest. Your advice is so spot on! Pregnant with #4 now, but truly wish someone had given me this advice years ago. Car nap time is when i make phone calls, listen to podcasts...or eat a snack I don't want to share. 😂

Love this. I have a 3.5 year old son and a newborn. We are trying to figure everything out together by God's grace.

Love this! We’re trying to get outside for a walk, park, etc. every morning. The fresh air is good for all of us and leaves the house a bit less to manage. Also, I’m giving myself grace in cooking during this season & buying the premade crockpot meals, salad kits, precut veggies, frozen meals, & dried soup mixes.

My tip would be try to get your baby to fall asleep on their own from the start. If that doesn't work, baby carrier is definitely your best friend! ❤

[reelcowboys]

Love this. Almost brought tears to my eyes. We need this encouragement for all the new moms instead of telling them that motherhood is horrible. It's beautiful and amazing and shouldn't be resented.

Thank you for this! Currently pregnant with my second baby, they’ll be 17 months apart. I was terrified when I found out but im starting to warm up to it

[diana]

Chrissy. God blessed me with one baby. He is 21 now. It is such a blessing to have babies!! It warms my heart to watch you manage a big family ♥️

[MaggieMay]

You truly inspire me. I had twins when my oldest was 2.5 years old and it was the hardest few years of my life. I am in awe that you managed two under two multiple times and came back for more!

[susand]

Very timely encouragement! I'm due with #2 in August when #1 will be about 2.5 and I keep worrying that I'll never be able to do it all. Its good to be reminded that it's only for a short time.

[beccaleigh]

Love this! I’m about to have 5 under 5 and my husband has always been so supportive in the same way, always reassuring me that he would much rather me love on our kiddos and be a present mom than be constantly stressed and worried about household chores in those first postpartum months. 🥰🙌🏼

[elliehuebner]

I just found out I'm pregnant with baby #2 and I'm overwhelmed. Thanks for the encouragement.❤

[RelishtheHarvest]

I wish I knew you when I had my babies. You are an inspiration and help moms become more knowledgeable through your insight.

I’m over here freshly postpartum (4weeks) with my fourth lil babe and I need you to know how appreciative myself and many more are, for you and your platform. You’re sharing tips, tricks, encouragements and being a NORMAL Catholic fam (Catholic gal myself) just keep it up with your channel and your authenticity. It’s a good, challenging, and hidden life- to be a mother! Makin us holy 😅❤
