0 to 1 child, or 1-2 children? Which was a harder transition for you?

@andy1993 My husband has since left that company so I’m not sure! I guess they’re doing well! They definitely needed a new car to fit everybody. All I know is I hope they have a great support system!

@andy1993 Yep! Our first was honestly so hard. He was born right before COVID hit, had colic until 6+ months old, couldn't nurse, always woke up every 2-3 hours until just before his second birthday and screamed whenever he was put down. We don't have a village to help so we were all alone. Twins are not easy in the slightest, but at 11 weeks old they sleep in 4-5 hour chunks sometimes and are happy to just chill wherever. Compared to our first, our twins are easier. I don't know what we would do if we had an easy baby first!

I hope your next one is easy too if you do decide on more!

@kadydz How are they now with each other?

Thank you! Everyone’s been so insightful that I’m more encouraged to try again but… she’s still little haha.

@andy1993 0-1 was tougher BUT my second baby was a more challenging kid. I just had no clue what I was doing with my first, I was learning to breastfeed, and generally you just don’t know what you don’t know. By my second I knew the basics and also knew that no one knows what they’re doing really so I gave myself a lot more grace. My kids are 13 mo apart.

@andy1993 Both were hard AF in different ways

@andy1993 0-1 was harder, though we're only 4 weeks in with 2 kids.

I will say that my first kid was/is very difficult, we went into having a second kid under the belief that it cant get any worse

@theloca Lol that little emoji at the end! Congratulations on your baby!

@andy1993 Thank you

@theloca Would you maybe be so kind to weigh in on how it went for you? Husband and I want to start trying for number 2 and our first is the most active/awake/wild baby we've ever met love him to pieces but hoping we can cope if number 2 turns out to be as much of a total nutter.

@churchhub Oh man, I'm sorry to say but no.2 has been much more difficult than no.1. He has a fiery personality, he's super cheeky and aggressive. I will say that no. 1 has been an absolute pleasure as he's gotten older. They're now 4y4m and 20m old.
