2nd baby

The first couple months were difficult ish just because we are learning together and we also figured out she had a dairy allergy. But now she’s 1 and my first is 2.5 and it’s great

We're 4 weeks in, its bloody hard but so worth it once you find some sort of routine! Xx

We're 4 weeks in too, luckily we've had help. I think I thought the nights would be the hardest but so far we've done okay with divide and conquer and as we were already tired with 1, it's not felt as extreme going from
1-2. I struggle with the day a bit, mainly due to the terrible twos as my son is 2.5 years now and he's still quite jealous and not used to sharing attention but hoping to ride it through. He loves his sister though. In hindsight I wonder if a 3.5 year age gap would have been better but think it's always an adaptation but everyone says it's worth it when they are older and can play with one another

We’re 7 months in and tbh it’s been rough. My April 22 baby was very chill and my March 24 baby has been the opposite so it’s been a massive shock. Also, despite being usually easy going my daughter has been very jealous of her baby brother. Having a small age gap will be great in the future but I wish I’d had the option to have a bigger one so my first understood things a more and has a bit more independence x

thanks for sharing your honest experience.
I’ve seen many families with 2 under 2, I rest admire how they all deal with all the day to day tasks!

thanks for sharing your experience and congratulations!
My husband keeps saying he’s already SsooO dead tired with one child and can’t imagine having 2. But I hope they will be able to play together when they are both a bit older.

I think it’s good to try for another one now, it will be a good age gap. I’m due 2nd March 2025 so it will be almost a 3year age gap between my kids
