Harder going 0-1 or 1-2 kids?

What did people find harder? From friends I’ve gathered those that struggled going 0-1 found the transition from 1-2 easier. Whereas those that found 0-1 a less severe transition found going 1-2 kids harder. This is a small pool though so would love to hear peoples thoughts.

3month old only taking 2oz per feeding

Hello! My baby just turned 3 months and he's been mostly taking 2oz sometimes 3oz. One time he did 4oz but most of the time just 2oz and he seems satisfied. He would demand for milk around 2.5-3hrs.
