Hated the newborn stage with my first. I struggled so so much, but loved every second of it with my second 😍 I didn't have to put in any work at all, didn't even need to stand up once to rock her 😍She was so easy in comparison to the first. She was a dream baby until she turned 10 months and is now hell 🤣🤣🤣 Do it, you won't regret it 🥰 xx
I hated the toddler stage with my oldest, he didn’t take the transition well, sleepless nights didn’t bother me with my first, I could still work from when he was 3 months old but when he hit 2 my god like a different child! I struggled hard but it soon passes he’s 9 now, I did have a 2nd child 8 years later and I’m struggling more this time round, maybe age difference? (22 with my first, 31 with my 2nd) I’m Struggling with health? Or just going through what I did with my 1st but again it isn’t permanent, my oldest is the sweetest, kindest boy I’ve met, you’d never believe he was a little terror 🤣
I am a month in to 2nd baby and it has been such an easy transition this time round compared to my first! my first had reflux like yours and everyday I was stressing about his food intake etc.. but this time round it has honestly been so much easier and I am loving it even with a 16mo in the mix!
Thank you so much everyone, it seems that the general consensus is that the baby stage is better with a 2nd. I won’t be doing it yet because we need to move house and want a slightly bigger age gap but it’s all I can think about at the moment 🙃
Each experience is so different! I only have one and I had some pretty traumatic times and I was with the mental health team until recently but the love I have for my baby now makes me soooo excited to have another! I had times wondering what have I done but now I wouldn’t have it any other way xx
