And in general, she wants us to play with her most of the time. But she has a lovely personality and is a fun little person to be around, so I do think she's been fairly easy since say 5 months or so. She's had some flashes of terrible two tantrums this summer1- id say we had 1-2 months of difficulties this summer when she had trouble accepting transitions (esp going to sleep) and would just be unable to control her emotions. But she's usually fairly cooperative and she's super verbal and articulate so we almost always can understand her. She's also a decent eater and hasn't had any serious health issues so we've been very lucky (knock wood!!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2618520 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 03:58:22 +0000 Kemma 2618520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: surely E is going to be a dream teenager! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2618511 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 02:53:28 +0000 Cherrybee 2618511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes! E is 3 now and has been challenging at every stage - poor sleeper, poor water, colic, hard to please.... S is 5 months and has just been the easiest baby so far. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2618508 Fri, 09 Sep 2016 02:43:47 +0000 lamariniere 2618508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: @lawbee11: my DS sounds like your DDs. Difficult baby, but he has been easy peasy since he turned 1. </p> <p>DD was a way easier baby, but she's much more mischievous and throws tantrums, something DS never really did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2618459 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 21:58:20 +0000 californiadreams 2618459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>both were pretty easy babies. DS2 is still only 7 months and i feel he is the easist baby ever. I get comments all the time from people asking if he is always this relaxed and happy. I didn't get that as much with my first, so i think there is a difference there. My first was an easy 2 year old, never related to the "terrible twos". 3 has been very challenging him with, but i think it is even more challenging since adding a baby to the mix. He started school this week and i have seen some behavior improvements, which i am happy with. I hope it continues to go this way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2618456 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 21:53:45 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2618456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. My older child is turning four and she's always been fussier about everything! She's very particular. (She's also super sweet and caring and very smart.. But nonetheless fussy, haha.) My younger child will be one soon and he is super laid back by comparison! He's been a bit of a handful since becoming mobile and learning to walk but he's still much easier to make happy! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2618172 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 16:34:33 +0000 PawPrints 2618172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, she's our trick baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2618086 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 14:56:54 +0000 Mrsbells 2618086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: From what i've hearda lot of people describe their 2nd child as easier going. I guess because the 2nd child has been used to sharing attention right from the start? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2618056 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 14:29:56 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2618056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, just hoping number 2 is as easy as number 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617867 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 11:52:35 +0000 KayKay 2617867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As my FIL always says, I've never hated both my kids at the same time ;) </p> <p>They have both had various easier/harder stages, dependent on their personalities, sleeping patterns, and other things going on in our life at that time. Luckily they haven't overlapped with any really hard periods (yet....). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617840 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 11:35:23 +0000 yin 2617840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They can both be considered "easy" but in very different ways. LO1 is generally well behaved and easy for others to care for and play with. LO2 can play independently for hours, given the right toys. Growing up with a big brother, he has learned to go with the flow. Yeah they can be easy, but oh man they are a handful. They have their ugly sides, and they are a hot mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617835 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 11:33:02 +0000 Dahlia 2617835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was tough as an infant - terrible sleeper, MSPI - but seems to be getting easier as she gets older. She has always been a very happy baby, though, as long as she's fed properly and gets some sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617830 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 11:29:42 +0000 Boogs 2617830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little one is more like your oldest. Someone once told me it's the makings for great executive leadership skills lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617821 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 11:27:03 +0000 daniellemybelle 2617821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I am praying the conventional wisdom about baby #2 being easy if baby #1 was "hard" is true! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617751 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 10:03:49 +0000 ms.line 2617751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NO! I can finally breathe a little now but she was a very, very difficult young infant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617747 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 09:54:54 +0000 looch 2617747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, no. Nothing has been easy, but he's my son and I wouldn't change him for anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617738 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 09:47:31 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2617738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, she's a really easy baby. She's laid back, rarely fussy, and so happy. I hope it continues into toddlerhood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617732 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 09:42:25 +0000 erinbaderin 2617732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they're both pretty easy. B is 2.5 and getting a bit more difficult, and sleeping has always been an issue, but he's pretty mellow. Yesterday one of his new daycare teachers told he me was super easygoing, so that was nice to hear. He's just starting to get more tantrumy, but even then he can almost always be talked down with a cuddle and a quiet moment. </p> <p>W is almost 6 months and so far sooo easy - he's never woken up more than twice in a night and usually just once, he hardly ever cries, he's usually asleep within minutes of being cradled and given a pacifier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617731 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 09:41:00 +0000 autumnlove 2617731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617729 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 09:38:41 +0000 snowjewelz 2617729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD wasn't the easiest baby, but looking back she wasn't that bad either for sure! At least she had no colic, allergies, etc. The main thing was just me stressing out about low milk supply, and her not STTN till 7 months. </p> <p>As a toddler, I actually think she's pretty easy! She is not quite 2 yet, but we haven't had crazy tantrums, we've never been in situations where I feel out of control... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617716 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 09:25:08 +0000 catomd00 2617716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2.5 year old has always been pretty easy and only 3.5 months in with DD2 but she is also seemingly very easy as well. Probably slightly easier than DD1 because she sleeps like a dream! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617714 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 09:22:56 +0000 catlady 2617714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have one but from seeing how other kids her age behave and reading stuff on this site, I think she is pretty easy. She was a very hard newborn but the toddler years haven't been so bad. The hardest part is probably that she's a bit of an attention hound. But her behavior has always generally been good for her age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617699 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 09:05:00 +0000 runnerd 2617699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well mine are 2yr (25mo) and 11 weeks, so I don't have a long history, but so far, LO #2 is unbelievably easy compared to his big bro. He just has such a content and laid-back personality so far whereas big bro has always been "spirited" and is a huge ham these days. LO#2 has hardly caused a ruckus at all going from 1 to 2 kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617690 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 08:58:32 +0000 MrsBrewer 2617690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes times a million!!! DH and I joke around a lot about being one and done, because she's like a unicorn baby.....sleeps awesome.....great personality...great eater. so easy. Talk about a great transition into parenthood! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617686 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 08:51:25 +0000 winniebee 2617686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 is 4 years, 4 months. He's pretty easy the last year! He was not an easy baby or toddler, however!</p> <p>DS2 is 21 months and was a super laid back infant. But he's been hell on wheels since he could walk, LOL. He has an awesome personality, but is super mischievous! He is a great sleeper and eater :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617685 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 08:51:22 +0000 lilteacherbee 2617685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My almost 3 year old has always been pretty easy. We're getting into the threenager stage, but in general, he's still laid back for the most part. My 13 month old? HA. He's a wayyy more difficult kid- not a good sleeper until 11-12 months, very clingy and whiny, etc. He's lucky he's cute :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617679 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 08:47:16 +0000 Ginabean3 2617679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My older one was soooooo easy, especially as a baby (she's a little more challenging now that she's a "threenager"). My youngest....oy...she has been a challenge since day one! Super needy and very contrary..she's gotten better as she's gotten older and more mobile but still....compared to the first its like night and day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617678 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 08:46:48 +0000 tinyperson 2617678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our first was a good baby - but not a good sleeper. Now at 3.5, she's giving us a run for our money. LO2 is a good baby and a better sleeper...we'll see how it pans out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617677 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 08:46:38 +0000 RainbowMom 2617677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Or should I say so far? He's 7 months old and has been an easy baby since day 1. Not that he doesn't have his moments, but he only cries when he's hungry or tired and he has never been inconsolable. He's been very healthy. He eats anything and has slept through the night since he was only about 4 months old. I'm just waiting for my luck to run out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-easy-lo#post-2617672 Thu, 08 Sep 2016 08:44:12 +0000 lawbee11 2617672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: LOL I often have the same thought. She was by no means an easy baby (mostly related to sleep). But since turning 1 she has been pretty easy. </p>
