Lifestyle | Short Cuts for Life with Two Babes
I wanted to hop on here and post about a few adjustments that we’ve made to help streamline a bit of life as we’ve welcomed the newest little into our lives. First is making sure A is well fed (nutritious food) and full as often as he’s used to. I feel like he’s happiest when full, we get a few more meltdowns if it’s been too long since he’s eaten something. Once Upon a Farm is still a staple godsend in our home and their subscription plan has only made it a better experience for us. We receive one box per month with 24 packets of cold-pressed nutrients and it definitely ties us over.
Allow yourself a few months of subscription services in order to mitigate some of the leg work as you adjust to two.

E A S Y (add a little hot sauce to mix it up for dinner.
We’ve spent a lot of time getting sister settled and then focusing on Amos. Of course, every child is different but Navy’s countenance has really allowed us to give Amos a lot of attention in between kissing and nursing her. Give yourself lots of grace as all of you are learning new normals and remember that no matter what the adjustment is, it’s only but a phase.
1 to 2 was a much smoother transition for me, in every way. I hope this is true for you! Blessings parents and big siblings, also it’s all survivable. We’re made capable for this stuff! xx-k
