My oldest was a much more difficult baby, but at the same time he was very portable. He slept anywhere and if he cried I could whip out my boob and nursing solved the problem (90% of the time). Kyle, however, rarely cried – but when he did – nursing didn’t help. He also would only sleep in his crib, and hated the car.

It takes me back to the days when I had just one and two. I really think it’s a mix of mother’s and baby’s personality. For example, I had an easier time with my four than my sister with her two and my mom kept telling me to give her advice. But then I had my turn with number five who till this day is difficult..she cries a lot, wants to be held all the time, doesn’t sleep well etc. SO, I definitely think it’s a combination of mommy and baby.

I’ve heard that often from friends with two kids. If the first was easy, the second was not so easy. And if the first was tough, the second was easy.

She hardly ever cried. Looking back on it, I think it was because I had all the time in the world to tend to her every need. My second baby (2 years later), though no more demanding, was more work. Luckily he had a pleasant personality. However, I had a harder time recovering physically from his birth (he was 9lbs, my daughter was 6lbs), so I felt worse. Plus I had to keep a two-year-old who was used to my undivided attention busy while I looked after the baby. I think it’s a combination of the baby’s personality and how the mommy is feeling. And the thing is, it changes from month to month. Just when I thought I had everything worked out, each of my children would hit a new phase and throw me for a loop. Aahh, motherhood. 😉
