@njohn63 Family money. That’s how they do it.

@sungw My pediatrician said they will sleep through the night when they’re 10 🙃

@masterpiece Thank you! I did NOT know this!

@dog_nurse Everyone here has very practical advice but I am struggling with this anyway. We have 2 kids and are leaning against having a 3rd. I saved everything from my first because we knew we wanted one more. And now I feel a little more ok giving stuff away on a mental level (financially it’s...

@icantthinkofausername Wtf that’s horrible

@jesusishere Yep, same!

@walid373 Is the travel issue about resetting the clock back to having a newborn, or about two children being harder to travel with than one child forever (or alternatively the financial aspect of another child vs travel)? There’s definitely going to be a crossover age where two are easier than...

@jbrauhn Damn, I would still be on leave…

@theseeker4 Also a mom who couldn’t figure out if it was sleep deprivation or PPA and started Zoloft a month ago. My baby is teething right now and has very few long stretches of sleep, but when given the opportunity to fall back asleep I am now able to do so, and it started a virtuous cycle...

@chadstick I worked until 5 pm both times and both my babies were born in the wee hours the next morning. They were very cooperative.

@callum7430 It sounds like your heart is telling you pretty strongly to have a third.

@jonwalter Everyone thinks that until they have another :)

@ibelongtojesus777 This is a beautiful portrait of siblinghood.

@hktm16 We liked our first child so much we thought we should make another one.

@trapper125 My first was not at all like this and now my second baby is. It’s very hard to endure. But I can assure you, you are not ruining any attachment. I actually thought with my first that she just didn’t care about me that much? She seemed way more bonded to my husband when she was a...

@shawntavia Ha, we are going to our ped tomorrow because my 5.5 month old wakes up/cries every time she’s flat on her back for the last few days. Meaning she will only really sleep in my arms. No other major signs though beside that - no recent fever and only a very small cold. But I’m feeling...

Just wanted to add that it’s kind of nuts about your state not letting you carry the children (if you were indeed interested in doing that). If my partner could take a turn being pregnant and potentially nursing, that would be an enormous game changer.

@jeanne7 Haha I’ll just say that they don’t necessarily wake each other up as much as you’d think BUT if they wake up separately, you wake up twice as often! We have a 3 year old and 6 month old and it’s definitely really hard some days but mostly awesome and rewarding. And I keep telling myself...

@leah_talbot Our gap is 2.75 years and I think it’s the closest I’d go personally. A lot of friends of mine have gaps from 18 months to 2 years and I think the only situation in which I’d advocate that is if you’re older and time is running out. Our daughter is old enough to be left unsupervised...
