My first was a colicky hot mess. My second is really laid back. It's like she knows not to be colicky for fear I might lose my mind (again).

I only have one kiddo, but if our second has an easier temperament, I might just have to check his/her pulse. DD has been a joy, so I'm nervous I'll have a doozie of a second.

@lizzywiz: this is the best poll ever. Thank you!!

@Rubies: oh good!!! i know you were worried about that.

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.

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.

Haha, add me to the neither list? They're both challenging in different ways.

#1 was {still is} a dream, but #2...let's just say he's lucky he's cute.

Hmmm... I think Charlie (first) was more laid back in general. Olive was fussier, but not colicky. Overall though I think he was easier.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

For me I would say as infants, #2 was easier... but now that they are both toddlers, I find #1 slightly easier (and more challenging occasionally) in some ways.
