How can I manage a toddler and an infant alone without a nanny?

The key to solo parenting is prioritizing sanity over a perfect schedule and involving your toddler in the process. Give your older child a sense of purpose by letting them 'help' with small tasks like fetching diapers or picking out baby's clothes, which fosters a bond and keeps them engaged. Use baby monitors to keep a watchful eye on your toddler while the baby naps, and don't feel guilty about using occasional screen time or simpler meals to help you get through the day.
