What would you do differently with second baby?

[Wherethereshope]

Just that really..

I read far too much with DS and had this whole feeding/ sleep plan in mind.. you can guess how well that went! I Used to worry about him not napping in his crib when really I just needed to hold him.

This time I vow to be more chilled with the knowledge it works out in the end

How about you??

Sleeptrain at 6 months, combi-feed.

@SqidgeBum oh yes the outfits! Outfits are a mistake. They look daft in them anyway

Take more photos.

Believe in myself more.

Admit that I care about the state of the house and outsource it.

Pregnant with no3!

I don't have any plans like that you just roll with it....

Having more than one child really focuses you to the fact that children are very different from one another. Something that works for one doesn't apply to the other, so you become immune to certain pressures, I suppose.

Absolutely nothing.

I’ve really enjoyed DD and had a generally easy time luckily. Despite never even holding a baby before having mine I just seemed to be really intuitive to my surprise.
EBF, cloth bum, baby wearing and co-sleeping worked here. And being completely baby led. Lovely.
I really do think we got it right for us (us being important-it wouldn’t be right for everyone). I had an amazing NCT group too. Our Whatsapp has been madly busy and a lifeline at all hours.

We were really firm on visitors though, DH took a month off so I had loads of help and it was all genuinely lovely (bloody exhausting obviously- that was hard).

I think being 40+ helped, us old farts have more self confidence to follow our instincts . Downside is my back is knackered and I’ve aged.....

Not having a number 2 but if I did I’d just try and be completely relaxed and tuned in to them as they may have completely different needs to DD. They are so different.
