Good times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-baby-had-the-easiest-temperment-your-1st-2nd3rd#post-1207273 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 17:56:32 +0000 delight 1207273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can't vote yet because. I only have one, but she's pretty easy so far at 12w. I'd be very lucky if my next is the same. She sleeps and naps well, is a little fussy in the evenings but otherwise pretty laid back. I know this can change in the blink of an eye, but so far I feel very blessed to have an "easy" baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-baby-had-the-easiest-temperment-your-1st-2nd3rd#post-1203766 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 04:43:16 +0000 illumina 1203766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have the one, and it's difficult to say whether she's easy-I have nothing to compare her too and also it depends on how much I'm happy for my lifestyle to change- if I held her all day for naps and we co-slept, she could be in the running for "easiest" baby ever... But it's not how I imagined it to be, so I guess she gets more cranky the more we try and get her aligned with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-baby-had-the-easiest-temperment-your-1st-2nd3rd#post-1203651 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 00:37:32 +0000 StbHisMrs 1203651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first (11) was very hard, he had colic until 9 months, co-slept until way too long, then turned into the sweetest cleanest toddler, now that he's 11 his original roots are showing ;) </p> <p>Second (2) was the easiest baby by far, hardest toddler by far. She will be our first broken bone, I just know it, that and she eats EVERYTHING she's not suppose to, I've called poison control so many times. </p> <p>Our third almost had me thinking she had colic, she's such a happy girl now at 3 months. She still only wants me, and I hold her almost all day long and we co-sleep, not by choice by exhaustion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-baby-had-the-easiest-temperment-your-1st-2nd3rd#post-1203622 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 23:52:25 +0000 Kimberlybee 1203622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: I would echo this statement word for word! My LO has been an angel of a baby. Everyone tells us #2 will be very hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-baby-had-the-easiest-temperment-your-1st-2nd3rd#post-1203564 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 22:50:20 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1203564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Number 2 has been easier as a baby but we're predicting he'll be much tougher as a toddler since he is more feisty and daring. Number 1 has gotten easier as he's gotten older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-baby-had-the-easiest-temperment-your-1st-2nd3rd#post-1203535 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 22:33:34 +0000 SAHM0811 1203535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first was an easy baby!! Excellent sleeper, pretty good eater (til the 2's hit and pickiness is normal), and she was amazingly well-behaved in public places like restaurants and subways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-baby-had-the-easiest-temperment-your-1st-2nd3rd#post-1203534 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 22:33:01 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1203534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm... I think Charlie (first) was more laid back in general. Olive was fussier, but not colicky. Overall though I think he was easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-baby-had-the-easiest-temperment-your-1st-2nd3rd#post-1203527 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 22:31:03 +0000 lizzywiz 1203527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting results so far. I really thought most people would say number 1 had the easier temperament- just because it seems to be what I have heard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-baby-had-the-easiest-temperment-your-1st-2nd3rd#post-1202276 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 14:20:46 +0000 shinymama 1202276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 was {still is} a dream, but #2...let's just say he's lucky he's cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-baby-had-the-easiest-temperment-your-1st-2nd3rd#post-1202271 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 14:19:26 +0000 Foodnerd81 1202271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sure hope number two is easier. That's if C ever calms down enough that we consider number two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-baby-had-the-easiest-temperment-your-1st-2nd3rd#post-1202251 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 14:14:34 +0000 Honeybee 1202251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, add me to the neither list? They're both challenging in different ways. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-baby-had-the-easiest-temperment-your-1st-2nd3rd#post-1201852 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:39:01 +0000 LuLu Mom 1201852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lizzywiz: LO has outgrown the reflux (well we are still on the medicine for it since it was extreme) but I'm already getting the itch for number 2. Although #1 is a sweet onery handful :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-baby-had-the-easiest-temperment-your-1st-2nd3rd#post-1201803 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:28:09 +0000 lizzywiz 1201803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: oh, the reflux. That and mine didn't/doesn't sleep. Makes it easier to say one and done, that's for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-baby-had-the-easiest-temperment-your-1st-2nd3rd#post-1201796 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:26:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 1201796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have 1 LO, but I pray the next one is more mellow! She STTN early, but screamed ALL day long due to reflux...I was a hot mess :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-baby-had-the-easiest-temperment-your-1st-2nd3rd#post-1201795 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:26:10 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1201795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: oh good!!! i know you were worried about that. :) </p> <p>my 2nd is really easy, but who knows what he'll be like as a toddler. he is very mobile and active already. DD was a more challenging baby, but she's been a great toddler.</p> <p>i think i was the harder baby too (i'm the oldest), and my sister was very easy. in my husband's family... DH was easy like my son (he's the eldest), the 2nd one was really challenging (MIL says she reminds her of my daughter), and the 3rd was a complete angel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-baby-had-the-easiest-temperment-your-1st-2nd3rd#post-1201776 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:23:22 +0000 Bookish 1201776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: Same!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-baby-had-the-easiest-temperment-your-1st-2nd3rd#post-1201771 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:22:28 +0000 Andrea 1201771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lizzywiz: this is the best poll ever.

DD has been a joy, so I'm nervous I'll have a doozie of a second. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-baby-had-the-easiest-temperment-your-1st-2nd3rd#post-1201728 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:08:49 +0000 mamimami 1201728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first, a boy!
