The Newborn and Toddler Juggle by Marisol Vega Adler

You’ve just brought home a newborn, and your toddler is no longer the baby. The joy is real, but so is the exhaustion, the guilt, and the constant question: “How do I give enough to both?” This book is your permission to stop trying to be perfect and start finding what actually works for your family. Drawing on developmental science, gentle parenting principles, and the hard-won wisdom of other parents, Marisol Vega Adler walks you through the first year of balancing two little ones. You’ll learn why your toddler is acting out (it’s not regression—it’s adaptation), how to create simple routines that honor both children’s needs, and what to do when you feel like you’re failing. With concrete scripts for handling jealousy, tantrums, and bedtime battles, and a no-shame approach to screen time, convenience foods, and imperfect days, this guide helps you stay connected to your partner and yourself. You deserve support that actually fits your life. Part of The Everyday Parenting Library.
