She sleeps just as poorly as #1 did but she far happier and doesn't have reflux like DS did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2/page/2#post-2100078 Mon, 09 Mar 2015 01:25:15 +0000 SAHM0811 2100078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 easiest<br /> #2 most difficult<br /> #3 in between the two... definitely more chill and on the easy side! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2/page/2#post-2099320 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 20:59:38 +0000 MapleMoose 2099320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Without a doubt #2 is an easier baby. #1 had undiagnosed food allergies that made life very difficult for many months and she has crazy low sleep needs so I hardly get a break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2/page/2#post-2099255 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 19:29:56 +0000 sera_87 2099255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2, by far. He actually sleeps! By himself! For more than 40 minutes!</p> <p>#1 wasn't even that bad either, he just thought sleep was for chumps. And once he figured out how to get moving, fooorget it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2/page/2#post-2099168 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 17:06:27 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2099168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2 was the way easier baby - a dream baby! BUT.... He's been the harder toddler! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2/page/2#post-2099106 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 15:46:54 +0000 shellio 2099106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh #1 was way easier. He had a tough phase that recently ended, from about 2.5-3 (only lasted 6 mos at most). Otherwise he is awesome and very laid back and fun. #2 is tough and tougher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2/page/2#post-2099096 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 15:22:56 +0000 Ree723 2099096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 for sure! She was the world's easiest baby and has always been such a sweet, easy going, happy baby, now toddler. At 2.5 years old, she has never even come close to having a tantrum, and other than being a picky eater, is an absolute dream child. We seriously encounter none of the behaviours so many other people talk about when it comes to toddlers, she is just so easy. </p> <p>#2, on the other hand, is a wonderfully happy baby, but she's a feisty one! She knows what she wants and she wants it right that second. And goodness help the person who takes something away from her! She just turned 13 months and she's already started with the occasional arching of the back, screaming tantrums.....I am so unprepared for this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2/page/2#post-2099095 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 15:22:12 +0000 erinpye 2099095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my kids are high-needs and neither is easier than the other, just different. I *thought* the second one was at first, because initially she slept better and wasn't as colicky, but that changed, and she's ended up a worse sleeper overall, and her colicky fits just happened at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2/page/2#post-2099038 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 13:43:16 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2099038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't realize that my first was an "easy" baby (she was a horrific sleeper) until my second came around. She was so, so hard! She was colicky and cried 10+ hours a day and even now, at 16 months, she is extremely high needs. She throws tantrums that not even my almost 3-year old has ever come close to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2/page/2#post-2099017 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 12:56:07 +0000 bhbee 2099017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 was way easier. She was just born chill. #2 has to be held all the time and would have made a better first baby! He wouldn't be so bad on his own but it's hard when I also have a 3yo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2/page/2#post-2098994 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 12:26:39 +0000 Mamasig 2098994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I answered this a few months ago, I said #2. But now I'm feeling like #1. Guess it's always changing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2/page/2#post-2098931 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 10:27:50 +0000 NovBaby1112 2098931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am feeling like #2 will HAVE to be easier than #1! LO1 was a very difficult, colicky, high needs, bad sleeper (although not horrific), and had a lot of issues BFing in the beginning. Things got better around 4 months though, but she was just never one of those "chill" babies. At least I'm prepared if #2 is the same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2/page/2#post-2098910 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 09:59:12 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2098910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think #1, by just a little bit. she didn't need to be held as much and she was a better sleeper by this age and she spit up like 5 times in her entire life. but they are both very easy babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2#post-2098907 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 09:52:29 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2098907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2... And I used to think it was because I had learned so much, but #3 is harder than #2... So part learning and part temperament. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2#post-2098904 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 09:41:11 +0000 Mrsjets 2098904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 was so much more laid back and less clingy. I'm hoping #2 is a better toddler *fingers crossed* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2#post-2098877 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 09:07:11 +0000 NavyRN2012 2098877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 by far! #2 is my little firecracker, and as a newborn we had to deal with reflux, which was a nightmare. Now at 2 years- I stand by her being most difficult. She's just very opinionated and sassy where my son was laid back and very go with the flow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2#post-2098874 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 08:51:39 +0000 stargal 2098874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 was a loy easier. D is such a sweetheart but the worst sleeper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2#post-2098871 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 08:44:39 +0000 BandDmommy 2098871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2 hands down </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2#post-2098870 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 08:39:39 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2098870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 was maybe easier. #2 is just a little more tender. She realizes her needs and then they must be met immediately. Feed me NOW! overall she's very easy, just hangry.<br /> They both eat and sleep well, so we've been lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2#post-2098869 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 08:38:43 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 2098869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 by a long shot </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2#post-2098862 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 08:25:55 +0000 erwoo 2098862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both in a temperament kind of way. They have both been great sleepers though. After having my first I thought... WOW, this kid is tough. I didn't know the meaning of "tough" until I had my second who dropped down anywhere on the floor (literally anywhere, even bathroom floors) to tantrum for 20 minutes when he didn't get what he wanted. And 10+ times a day from infancy (threw himself back to the ground) to about 24 months or so. He still has his moments and is much, much better but he still has his moments. And lucky me my oldest became really tough between 3 to almost 5 years of age. So they were both tough at the same time for almost two years. I guess what I'm trying to say that it just really depends. But one thing I've learned is that it does get better with age and after you figure out what works for each of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2#post-2098859 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 08:22:37 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 2098859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Easier baby by a nose ... But a harde toddler! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2#post-2098855 Sat, 07 Mar 2015 08:18:11 +0000 MrsB2012 2098855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, I've been blessed with 2 pretty easy babies. I think having to pick, I'd say 2, as breastfeeding was a little easier. However #2 likes to constantly be held which is hard sometimes. That could be in part that whenever we put her down her sister wants to hug her and kiss her and pick her up hahs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2#post-1954282 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 10:00:51 +0000 blackbird 1954282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ahhhh. #1 was easy, so i feel totally screwed with #2 ;) We shall see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2#post-1954223 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 09:37:19 +0000 Rubies 1954223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2, hands down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2#post-1954220 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 09:36:23 +0000 mrs. wagon 1954220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry. #1 by far. :T </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2#post-1954126 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 08:59:13 +0000 lilyann 1954126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2, he learned to self soothe so much quicker than #1. But I also think I am just used to the whole mom thing and think it's easier the 2nd time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2#post-1954119 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 08:53:59 +0000 Lindsay05 1954119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2. She actually slept like a newborn was supposed to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-an-easier-baby-1-or-2#post-1954087 Fri, 21 Nov 2014 08:09:31 +0000 MamaChin 1954087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They were easy in their own ways. #1 was always content, ate like a pig but sleep wasn't that great until we sleep trained. #2 slept a ton and is quite independent but doesn't eat as well and won't let people hold her. </p>
