When they start to "give something back" - as they emerge from the vegetable state of the early months, it should be a little more rewarding for the mothers in their slog to bring them up. (As they make advances and develop)
I would have thought.

I think, it was found in large families, it was usually the older children who tended to, and brought the new babies up!
Great for the baby though. Just wonder how she'll cope in the "real world" of school.

If she's only 15 months old then presumably she has a sleep during the day?I seem to remember the strict (and very sensible) advice that when baby sleeps you take the phone off the hook and either sleep or rest yourself!
It's madness to run on overdrive.
Batteries need recharging!

quite nonsensical TBH.
Should have tried having 3 children under the age of two, as I did. Now *that* is hard work.

Just do what l see some of the mother’s with kids in pushchairs, on the bus, do.The child starts crying, the mother puts on a cartoon or some other kids video on her mobile phone and sticks it in the child’s hands.
The child shuts up and looks mesmerised as it watches the screen that it’s holding up in front of its face.
Awful isn’t it... whatever happened to rocking cuddles and a little song or a nursery rhyme?

I think retroactive birth control is a good option.
