Looking for Sugestions....

I definitely don't think so(not being too early), once your daughter gets older, you shouldn't have to carry her at all. You also can just tell her that you can't and she will learn after awhile. If you are ready to have another one, go for it, but don't base it on that alone. I have two that are a year and a half apart, and I don't think I ever had to worry about carrying both.

I say, only you can answer that question, not anyone here. You know what your body can take and handle, and we're not the ones that would have to take of of the baby. I can easily say "sure, go ahead and have it", but in the end, if you can't handle, you're stuck with the problem of carrying around two babies, while I'm only dealing with one. But I say, discuss it with your husband, and your doctor. And on my advice note, I would say wait, you're first one is still a baby, let him remain the baby for a while, because I've seen it first hand, as soon as the other baby comes in the picture, the first one will "turn back into a baby" and want to be babied and held, and you said yourself, you can't carry two babies and once.
Just go with your gut instict, I'm sure you'll pick the right one.

Good luck to you!

I think we carry our kids for as long as we can. I carried my older daughter until I got too pregnant with my younger, and they are just over 3 years apart.

A sling would allow you to have your hands free to help your older daughter while caring for the baby.

Hi K.,

Mine are 18 months apart and I seldom if ever carried 2 at once simply because a new baby requires 2 hands (or a sling). We put forth a lot of effort to make sure that the older one never felt displaced by the younger one. I would tell him things like, "you're such a big boy and there are so many things you're going to have to teach your brother". It was never a problem.

Good luck!
