DAILY ROUTINE WITH A TODDLER AND NEWBORN | Realistic Daily Schedule With Two Kids

  • I've had SO many requests to share what our routine looks like with a newborn and a toddler. The majority of you are very interested in a few things: How to manage naps and sleep with two? How to balance attention between the two kids? How to find some time for yourself amidst it all? So I thought I could give you guys a sort peek into what a day typically looks like for us and make sure to touch on these topics. Every day is a little different, and this way I can touch on some of the general routines we use, tips and tricks that help me, what naps look like, and do a more overall look at life with a toddler and newborn (10 weeks at the time of filming).

    I kept my kids in the crib till they were around 3 just because we were upstairs and I was very concerned they would get a window open or something. I had one of those zip on mesh tents for my crib so they could t climb out.

    I just found your videos on here and I am so obsessed!!!! I love your ideas and that you clarify things such as: what your toddler actually ate from meals and that "right now" this is the sleep schedule for the baby and such. You are such a wonderful mama and so talented in many things and I am so happy to have found you as a resource! Thank you so much for sharing yourself with all of us!

    You are remarkable! I am a 71 grandma and my kids were 17 months apart. I went back to work at the Phone Co. after 6 weeks. That’s all you got in 1971/1972. I had my Mom who babysat until they went to school. You can only do your best. Great job. ❤️

    Thanks for your thoughts on infant sleep! I’m a new mom and the sleep aspect of baby life has been so stressful as there are so many opinions out there about it. I was helped by your reminders that it’s not worth getting worked up about it but to seek consistency. And I am constantly telling myself that every day is a new adventure with a baby :)

    I learned, albeit the hard way, getting up a few hours before my children is so important to my mental health. I use this time to list what I have to do for the day and then I have an hour of Bible study.
    And I applaud you for the outside time. My kids where always outside when they were younger and they still, even being tweens now, love to be outside doing something like bikes, roller skating etc...

I’m not even a mother but I’ve always been so in awe of how mothers get everything done during the day. I feel like I’m a chicken with my head cut off but you guys do it all with small children. Amazing. Happy Mother’s Day to you & all the mothers out there in the world 💕💐

      @@jennifermyers9436 Everything starts with us. Change ourselves, change our toddlers. This stage is crucial, not only for personality development but also developing trust. My 3 year old still doesn't trust me and it breaks my heart, but we all need patience with each other. They're testing boundaries while learning emotions and reactions.

My son is great but has been presenting challenges with sleep, eating and constant attention. I try to stay consistent but its honestly really hard when days can become battles. I try for the general guideline throughout my days but when my second comes I feel like I'll have to change everything again for myself and for both of them. I will try to take some of your tips down and see how I can adjust them to my situation

    I loved this video. I love watching different routine videos. I've been a single mom since my daughter was born, she is almost 4 now. It was such a struggle, I was always tired and didnt get much done till I started wearing her in the backpack. I preferred that over the wraps, never felt comfortable with those and I couldn't use them for a long time. She was a premie and only 4 pounds at birth so I had to wait till she got up to a good weight before I could put her into the backpack but once I did things got better. Because she too always wanted to be held and that way i got things done..

Sure there is things that we do as a "routine" everyday like eating and morning and night time brushing teeth and getting dressed. I've always just let my kids sleep when they are tired 🤷‍♀️ for me it's less stressful and its what my kids are used to. I'm a full time stay at home mom so I guess I don't really need to manage my time as much 🤷‍♀️😂

    Just a note on baby sleep.. Our baby (who's now 2y4m) slept CRAZY bad until approx 2 months ago. CRAZY bad, no joke. Waking every 15 minutes and sometimes never going down for sleep at all. Tried white noise, rockers, EVERYTHING, expensive sleep courses,,, nothing worked. And then they found a brain tumour in her cerebellum at 8 months. She's had 2 surgeries and have now healed enough as to not feel pain/whatever you feel post tumour/surgeries. She sleeps most nights and rarely wakes us, not even when she goes to the loo.
    So all I want to say is, baby sleep can also be a sign, I believe. If it's really, really crazy (45 minutes was a very rare luxury to us... She'd NEVER Sleep that long in her 2 first years..), maybe it's something keeping them restless.
    Thanks for great, inspiring videos Kallie!

    It’s funny how you called the evening time Finnley’s witching hour. I called it the same thing with my daughter, who will be 10 this month. We realized she had colic and she needed to be physically held, sometimes for hours on end, just to be comfortable. So this was 2-4 hours of me on my feet holding her and bouncing her and myself until whatever she was feeling went away. That lasted a few months but it certainly knocked off the baby weight fast lol. My son did not have that issue and I was so grateful. No one likes seeing their child uncomfortable or in pain. I also would lay her down and push her little legs in and out, almost working out the discomfort she was feeling. But if I wasn’t doing that, she was in my arms and her dr told me I had to move too, not just swing or rock her. And then one day, the issue went away and my baby girl wasn’t uncomfortable anymore. Idk if that’s her issue, just sharing what her witching hour consisted of.
