Kylie Kelce is sharing her top tips for parents expanding their brood from one to two kids.

During the “Ask Me Some Things” segment on the Thursday, April 16 episode of Not Gonna Lie, the podcaster and mom of four, 34, responded to a viewer’s question about adding another little one into the family less than two years after becoming a first-time parent. Kylie, who shares her four daughters with husband Jason Kelce, said that going from one to two kids “felt great” to her, explaining her stance and giving tips to the expectant mom.

“One to two to me felt great. It was entertainment for the older and entertainment for the younger,” she explained. “When the older one is launching themselves off of things, the little blob is just lying there watching them like, that’s pretty crazy. So it’s built-in entertainment in both directions, which I really appreciated.”

“The good news about one to two is that you still have a hand for each,” she added. “If they do ready break and then they run [in] different directions, you can still grab both of them.”

Kylie, who is mom to daughters Finnley, 12 months, Bennett, 2, Elliotte, 5, and Wyatt, 6, also addressed her stance on having kids close in age. Admitting that she’s “biased,” Kylie shared why it was “so nice” having all her kids so close together.

“Our oldest are 17 months apart, and it was so nice because now it feels like they’re hitting stages very quickly behind each other, and it’s been that way the whole time,” Kylie said. “And they’ll learn from each other. It’s so cool to have siblings that are that close in age.”

“I’m biased again,” she admitted, explaining that each of her daughters is no more than two years apart. “It’s great. I love it.”

She went on to share some advice for navigating life with two little ones under 3 years old. The girl mom suggested getting a “really good baby wrap” that can easily be put on.

“Get a really good baby wrap. Something that you’re comfortable with that you can put on easily,” she said. “I was not the person who liked the really long one that you have to figure out how to tie and tuck and all that stuff. I watched plenty of videos. I got the hang of it. I still didn’t like it. It wasn’t for me.”

“I think a baby wrap, because if your second is a Velcro child or a Velcro baby, it’s so much easier to strap them in, make sure their head is secured, and they’re tucked safely against your chest,” Kylie continued. “I am not a medical professional, but the tip I was told was that you should be able to easily kiss them on the head just by dropping your chin. They shouldn’t be like sinking down, like lower than your boobs. That is helpful because then you get both of your hands back.”

She then jokingly advised other parents not to feel bad if this one thing happens while their baby is in the wrap.

“Don’t feel bad about dropping food on that child’s head. Do not,” she said. “I’m not going to judge you if you drop some sandwich on their head. Just make sure you pick it up.”

“If they’re close enough that you can kiss their head, you could probably just eat it off of their head if it fell down there,” she added. “Just a thought.”
