I have a mixed group of kids 6 months - 5yrs. Added an infant about 3 months back and now he's 6 months. Super laid back kid.

I'm adding a 3 month old to the mix next week.

Most days I can get done what I need to get done (cleaning, food prep, diaper changes, etc.) while the infant is content either during floor time or when he's napping but I'm a little concerned how things will be with 2 infants.

If an infant is especially fussy/sick or just needs a little bit of extra love how do you get everything done? I wouldn't want to just let them cry so what do you do? Especially is it's things that NEED to get done..serving meals, changing dirty diapers on the toddlers, etc.

I have the 6 month old on a great sleep routine now (2 hrs mid morning and 3 afternoon) but I'm just a little worried about adding the newest infant next week. BTW he's the sibling of a current child.
