I'll agree with that. LOL I actually found DS2 to be our 'better' sleeper, even though he slept less. The other thing I have personally found is that I don't sweat the small stuff and instead of wanting to do everything 'by the book' I am more inclined to do what needs doing/what works and not worry so much about the 'what ifs'.

I found 0 to 1 fine in some ways. I didn't notice the big change in lifestyle at all BUT she was such a tricky and unsettled baby that it was the hardest year of my life. 1 to 2 has been fine in many ways. I found having a newborn really easy second time around but am finding it harder now that both need more play-type attention but are at totally different levels.

Most people I speak to seem to say 1 to 2 is the hardest as both are young and the younger they are the harder it is. I'm sure it depends on the family but that is the most common thing I hear. My neighbour has 7 and she said 1 to 2 was the hardest and each one has been easier to adjust to since.
