I started a 3 month old with five 2-3 year olds (3 girls, 2 boys). I was worried but it is going great! The kids are great about not touching though I sit with them and let them read to her and show her toys. She is always in the same room as me if she isn't napping. I got lucky - she loves the big kids and is happy as long as she is sitting up and can see them. She even "sits" at the table so she can watch. Stops her crying almost every time.
She naps during the big kids snack and crafts time (9-10am) then we all go outside where I feed her. She watches me make lunch, then watches the kids eat. After they go down to nap I feed her and she goes down to nap (different room because she has trouble putting herself back to sleep). The big kids wake up and eat snack, then she wakes up and gets her snack. Then back outside.
She is my first one here and last one to go, so she gets one-on-one tummy time, cuddle time then. I feel so fortunate it has worked out. I'm not able to do as much with the other kids - organized activities have temporarily gone out the window.
I love the change in dynamics she has brought. Best of luck. I hope things work well for you also.
