Having another child is it any easier?

[UpsyDiasy2]

Hello
I'm thinking of having another child I have a 2 year old daughter who is always full of beans!! is it true when people say when you have your second it is easier??? I don't know what to think I find it hard as it is to get organised with one! would love to hear from you

No it is not easier, but far worse.

It is easier in that you know what to expect and now realise just how easy looking after a baby really is (compared to a toddler!).
However, i'm not going to rose tint the fact that the first 9-12 months are incredibly difficult (just look at some of the other threads on here ).
Once you get past that point then it does get a lot easier and I now think that having 2 is actually easier than having 1 as they keep each other entertained a lot of the time. (50% playing 50% arguing, but they love each other to bits)

I think it depends on the child/baby and their personality? I haven't found it too hard really, if you want another one then go for it, you will manage

My first was a very difficult baby... and i did not know it before i had my second, an angel!
so for me it is much much easier now with two, than 2 years ago with only 1!

def depends on the child

it is easier in the respect of knowing what to do, having done it all before. but of course it's harder because you have 2 children to look after!

my first was incredibly "easy". my second was a devil child. it was hideous.
still had a third tho

My first was a very difficult baby,second is a dream.

Once you have had your second you wondered how the hell you filled your day with just one.......and you realise where the expression 'precious first born' comes from.

Had my first 2 17 months apart and it was jolly hard work for first year or so but they are best friends and they entertain each other brilliantly. They are on exactly the same wave length. It was so worth while.

Now we have had third, we literally havent slept the night through for the last 6 years. But hey ho, sleep is over-rated anyway

I believed it would be easier but it was not. The first year and a bit was properly hard. Now DC2 is 19 months and they play togther I can see the benefits. It dies depend on the child but in my experience the transition from 1to 2 was MUCH harder than 0 to 1.

Sorry did not reply earlier, but thank you all for your advice
