Question

I'm very excited for the birth of my second but I'm anxious because my first baby was really an easy baby. Everybody keeps saying I won't have an easy baby the second time around. Now, I realize there's no way to predict this and I'm grateful for whatever kind of baby I get lol but I'm just curious to see what your experiences have been!

Answer

Hey mama! It's such a bummer that people feel the need to say you're gonna have a harder time when they have no idea! Yes, my second was harder, BUT I have a lot of friends who had a different experience (super easy baby #2) so you never know what you're gonna get! But don't worry, I found that even though my second was more difficult, I was much more relaxed the second time around. You're a pro now! Having experienced what it's like to be a mom to your first child, you know that the crazy newborn/baby phase is only for a short time. Before you know it your two little ones will start playing with each other and making your life a lot easier in many ways! I've loved having two kids and am looking forward to adding our third in a few more weeks! Blessings to you!

Answer

My first baby was soooooooooo easy!!!! She is still easy going to this day (she is 8yrs old). My second however....... She was harder. She definitely had a little attitude, but she was the cutest baby ever!!!!! She is still a little rebel spitfire to this day and she is 5 years old. Each child will be different. I am on my third baby and I know she will be different from her older sisters.

Answer

I know what you mean! I worry about loads lol

Answer

Both of my current children were "easy babies" and I think this one will be as well. I am an extremely mellow person, I don't really stress over things and let the cards fall where they may and I think your temperament during pregnancy has a lot to do with how your baby will be.

Answer

My second was definitely harder then my first, but she was/ is far from a terror. My first was just crazy easy. She didn't like sleeping in our room since we woke her up, she would wake up once to nurse at 3 or 4 and then went straight back to sleep, happy and easygoing from day 1. My second was just a bit more stereotypical newborn. She wanted to be held while she slept, she wanted to use me as a pacifier and actual pacifiers were not acceptable, she would wake up enough at feelings to want to play some in the night. Nothing crazy or terrible, just a bit more demanding. My second is still much more of a people person/extrovert compared to her older sister who will play on her own for hours sometimes.

Answer

I'm worried because I'm pregnant with my third and my first two were really easy.. I was worried when I had my second because everyone told me you only get one easy baby but my second was easier than my first. Me and my bf say this one is gonna be our problem child.. He is already fiesty and stubborn and isn't born yet.. Lol

Answer

I'm getting the same comments, and I am so not looking forward to having a difficult baby. But I am so excited about this little guy. He's been really shy about getting ultrasounds and having the dr use the Doppler to get his HB. My first was not like that. That doesn't mean he will be difficult but I see differences already.

Answer

I have three kids already, and all my deliveries were fast and easy! Praying for this one to be the same!

Answer

1st baby was extremely easy! 2nd baby was wayyyy harder! But also my kids personalities. My son is 6 and is still a very easy going kid and my daughter is now 2 and very demanding and likes all the attention! Lol hoping this baby will be more like my 1st! But to second that it was the complete opposite for my mom. First baby was a nightmare then second baby was a breeze! Ya never know!

Answer

1. I got extreme migraines bc of hormone fluctuations and had to stop BF for medication. He got colicky after and had a rough month or so. Overall a good baby.

2. Born at 28 weeks. Spent 3 mo in Nicu. Very independent baby

3. BF for 18 mo. She was easy going

4. Easiest baby ever. Came home sleeping through the night. Never cried. Is 3 now and still happy - puts herself down for naps lol

5. I'm scared to death he will be such a hard baby because the last 2 were so easy. But he should be a Virgo sheep and they seem rather easy going
