Is it normal that the first kid influences, shape and maybe even overshadows your second kids? Am I in my head that my oldest has robbed my second of his own baby years and own individuality because he entered a world of chaos with such a dominating brother? Does separating them help to give them their own space to grow and develop?

The Doona is really awesome, very functional, especially for travel and when your baby is so little, sleeps all the time, it makes it easy to just pop out of your car, pop the wheels down and go, vs having to connect a car seat into a stroller (if you’re at Target, the grocery store, etc) but if you’re just looking for a good stroller then the Uppa is great! No storage with the Doona. Kind of apples n oranges since the Doona is a car seat and stroller in one.

I recently bought Hiya night time vitamins with magnesium but it’s hard to say how much it works. It might help a little. My 3-year old son still has the zoomies and wants to party at bedtime every night.

We do the taco skillet from Defined Dish cookbook often or for easy kids meal I’ll usually mix ground beef with a box of Goodles plant-based “Mac n cheese”. It’s become so challenging to feed my 3-year old these days since he’s so picky so this thread is giving me good ideas!
