Toddler is almost 2, baby is 2 months old... I'm very lucky to have childcare for my toddler most of the week but whenever I have to take care of both of them at the same time, I feel so much guilt at not being able to give my all to either of them.

I know they will be OK but it breaks my heart that sometimes baby will miss a nap because I have to take care of my toddler's lunch and bedtime routine... Or when I can tell my toddler would need more attention and exercise, but I have to let him play alone or watch a bit of TV while I nurse his sister.

I am counting the days until baby needs less of my attention, and they can interact more...

How do others do it? How do you cope with these feelings?
