The two DDs will be 2 yrs 9 months apart.

But he IS a difficult baby, he is so needy, multiple wake ups at night. I always say once he's sleeping thru the night, we will start TTC again. Who knows when that will happen! I am tired! winniebee on "Did your first lo's temperament factor into when you'd have another child?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-first-los-temperament-factor-into-when-youd-have-another-child#post-428469 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 20:40:10 +0000 winniebee 428469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My son was a challenge in the early days - with eating, mostly, because he had a dairy intolerance and reflux. Not the world's best sleeper, but not the worst. But since 3 months and even moreso after 4 months, he's been a very easy baby. We'll wait a little longer between babies because I had a complicated pregnancy, though.

I don't think there was anything particularly difficult about him, other than him hating eating. So deciding to have #2 pretty close together (22 months) wasn't a hard decision. Had he been difficult though, we probably would have spaced them out more. If your LO is hard or easy, did that factor into whether you had #2 sooner or later?
