For those with multiple kids- what was the hardest jump? Why?

Question

Answer

0-1 probably because I had NO IDEA what tf I was doing, figuring everything out the first time, I was more worried. This time around 1-2 i know a ton more and I'm less worried. Having the experience once has prepared me for the experience the 2nd time and even though things are different i still have the general preparation and can make adjustments as I go

Answer

Definitely 1-2...when you go 0-1 your whole life revolves around this tiny human, if your to tired to do anything you can just stay in with he baby. When you go 1-2, your whole life revolves around this tiny human AND a wild child that also needs attention and activities that they go to 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

0-1. I had no clue what I was getting into. I was the first among my friends to have a baby and basically lost my friends and everything connected with them over night. My life flipped 180. 
1-2 felt completely natural and even though my daughter is very high maintainance, it was still so much easier to adjust.
Now I’m pregnant with no. 3 and feel completely indifferent. We are just adding another one to the bunch lol

Answer

For me 0-1 was pretty easy, everything came pretty naturally.  I could sleep when she slept.  She was an easy baby.  1-2 felt like whole world went to hell in a hand basket.  She was colicky.  I wasn’t getting any sleep.  I struggled being torn between the needs of two kids.  2-3 was easy but I waited until my second was 14 before I was willing to get pregnant again.

Answer

0-1 but mainly because I didntlisten to the advice “sleep when baby sleeps” because I was too worried about him and if I was doing everything right! 
But I recently went from 1-2 (she’s only 2 weeks old) and it’s much harder to do that now unless he’s napping too or when he’s already in bed for the night. It’s not really the sleep but more that my 3year old has been very whiny since we brought her home. He loves to help with her though. I try not to get frustrated with him cause I can tell he’s only feeling left out or he just wants someone to pay attention to him so it makes me feel bad too.

Answer

It probably depends on the age gaps, but 1 to 2 was the roughest for me. I had a toddler that was used to having my full attention and a baby that also wanted my full attention. I felt torn and guilty. 
0 to 1 was the biggest adjustment, but my baby was all-consuming for me and I had nothing else needing my attention. So it was easy. 
As for 2 to more, well, once you have two to entertain each other it’s a lot easier. Mostly it’s just refereeing. You’re also really too busy to dwell on how you feel about things and typically more confident in your mom-abilities so you don’t question yourself as much. It’s kind of freeing.
