- Does the new baby crying at night wake up older child

Not for mine and they were in the same room.

- How does older child react to younger child. Any ideas for helping
with resentment issues for the older one.

We didn't have a problem. We continued to give #1 what he needed as much as
we could. We included him in everything. He met us at the hospital and the
baby was nursing when he walked in. I let him hold the baby nearly every
time he asked. We talked about his baby brother a lot. We set up all the
baby things 6 weeks before the baby came.

- When baby is mobile, how do you keep them safe from older childs
toys

This wasn't a problem really but they are only 24 months apart.


- What do you do to keep older child happy while breastfeeding younger
child

*Very* child proofed house so that the toddler was safe, cuddled the
toddler next to me while the baby was eating, read to the toddler. I would
have used TV but the toddler wasn't interested.

- Any techniques for taking two children on errands

Try to time it when no one is tired and hungry and only do 2 at a time.
More then that and mine melt down.

Honestly it wasn't to big of a problem for me. I find the arguing and
bickering harder to deal with now that they are older.
