Day care for the win! I kept my 15 month old in day care while on mat leave and now I’m back working full time while they’re both in day care. My husband and I staggered our leave which helps
Working full-time mom with twins and no grandparents/family. There's no way around it, 0-2.5 were extremely hard, but we're at 3.5 now and truly enjoying it.
We had one nanny for 45 hrs a week for the first two years and now have two nannies for a total of 47.5 hrs a week and that's been a total game-changer, (also having 2 allows for more flexibility if one can't make it, need an occasional weekend day, no overtime, they're not burnt out, etc., etc.)
Also we did a night nanny for the newborn for his first few weeks of life and got the snoo and those helped a ton in getting him (and us) good sleep. We also lined up family to babysit our oldest every weekend for the first month of our baby’s life so we didn’t have to watch both kids at first, which also helped me recover and feel less pressure.
My kiddos will be 21ish months apart - I have no idea how I’m going to do it, but I WFH without childcare for now.
