[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope OP is ready for the 4 month sleep regression. And also the fun bouts of childhood illnesses that arrive when the child enters preschool or daycare and starts getting the flu, RSV, roseola, etc. And also the difficulties that arise when that sweet infant turns into a feisty, difficult two year old. My sister had a really easy infant like the OP so they decided to go for two under two and now he’s two and an absolute nightmare and she’s struggling. Easy babies don’t stay easy babies. But it sounds like with all the support and flexibility she has they will
be fine, many people can’t work part time and don’t have family to help them. [/quote]

OP here. I know not every stage will be easy. We know that our next child could be difficult. We know sleep issues will come up, but we are pro sleep training. I have had friends though who had super easy kids in general. I think it all depends. [/quote]

I'm the one who mentioned my colicky second baby, just wanted to make sure. I have so many friends who had a unicorn first baby and then were SHOCKED that their second was not the exact same baby.  We certainly weren't expecting colic + medical issues but knew form siblings and other friends that this child wouldn't be as easy as the first.  There's a reason everyone says that if your first baby is easy, stop there!   (SO glad we didn't stop there though!!)[/quote]
