I have a 2.5yr old and expecting my second in a few months. This was by far the best, most useful video I've seen on the 1-2 transition. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you!! Currently expecting #2 and it really helps you saying those things out loud. I've thought of them myself, but it hits different if someone else says it.
Fully agree. I found 1-2 a much less drastic transition. And there has been nothing as genuinely heartwarming as watching your kids play and laugh together ❤❤
I would love a video from you about the transition to the kids sharing a room. Mine are 22 months and almost 6 and I would love for this to happen soon. The baby is becoming to aware when we come to bed and waking up with every noise it seems. I’d like to hear the pros/cons/challenges you faced and tips to help. Thanks! So glad you’re posting more! I e always enjoyed your videos.
Currently 38 weeks pregnant, my 2 boys are going to be 18 months apart and I’m a little bit nervous about the transition but your video really made me feel much much better! 🥰 thank you!!
Due with baby #2 in three weeks and this was so helpful! I was literally crying about some concerns last night and your insight put me at ease. Thank you ❤
The beautiful confidence that comes with your second ❤ For me, the second actually was harder with sleep and I slipped into PPD/PPA from sleep deprivation, but other than that, a lot of these rang true for me too.
Thank you so much for this ❤️❤️ I just found out I’m pregnant with my second and even though we are extremely excited it has worried me that maybe I’m not prepared for that big change. Your points about it not being nearly as hard as you imagined really put my heart at ease 🥰
Super late to this video, but I’m so glad I found it! I’ve been having the same struggles with my thoughts about being pregnant with baby #2. So thank you for sharing the positive sides!
For me the most difficult part was to have a pretty predictable and consistent routine. Babies absolutely thrive on routine, but me, I'd work till 3am, wake up at 10am the next morning but go to sleep by 10pm that night. I'd skip meals (but you can't really skip your child's meal lol) or be very spontaneous for unpredictable amounts of time. Settling into a more consistent routine *myself* I believe #2 will be way easier in terms of adapting.
Your rationales for all the points in the video make so much sense! Definitely keeping these thoughts in my back pocket. I am 9 weeks pregnant with baby #2 and we currently have a 9 month old. So excited to see them grow up and play together.
I have a 2 year old and going to be having my second baby in November . Thank you for making this video. I feel way better about thia transition. Cause before i was deffinatly shitting my pants feeling like i made a mistakes. You speak the true feelings on this subject and i thank you so much. Our feelings are valid.
I have 2 yr old currently and we are expecting #2 end of Nov. I struggled so hard with my first postpartum figuring it all out. And have been so nervous! So than you for this 🙏
I have a one year old and would like to have another in a couple years. My husband is absolutely against it with how difficult our pregnancy and newborn experiences were and I actually think this video would help him. Thank you ❤❤
Thank you for sharing this video my little boy just turned 2 and I have been struggling with deciding wether or not we will have another one and this was very comforting ❤
I'm due in 2 days and apprehensively clicked on this video, afraid it would make me more scared of the transition to 2 than I already am, but instead I'm really encouraged ❤️ thanks for the virtual pat on the back
Totally agree about the adapting to sleep loss better the second time around! With my first I felt like I was dying due to lack of sleep 😅 but this time around I feel much more chill about it and it just isn’t affecting me as much.
Love this video, thank you for doing it! I have been struggling a lot with what our life is going to look like with two small children and this eased my mind 😌
I am a little over a month into forming #2 and you set my mind a little more at ease. Watching your vids on you being preggie with Rook before I got preggie with my princess made me seriously at ease the first time also. I just love your vids and I am working on rewatching them all just because you make motherhood just that much more at ease in my mind :)
Two of my favorite things with having two under two has been when one kid is napping and I can spend one on one time with the other kid. And when the naps overlap completely 😅
This was the hardest transition for me 1 to 2. They are 22 months and almost 6 months. It’s easier now, but after my second was born and my hubby went back to work and I was on my own I was drowning most days and didn’t really enjoy it. I hate to even say that now. It got easier but some days I still struggle. We are military so I also am not in my home state with friends or family for support or help.
I love the products of haakaa too and recommend them to al my friends that are having a baby. I believe you were the one telling me first about them on RU-vid. Thank you so much for that, the ladybug and the original Haakaa have made my breastfeeding so much easier, now again the second time around. I have tried silicone pumps of other brands, but haakaa is by far the best! It's helped me to create a big stash of milk in my fridge without even pumping 🤩 The ladybug is indeed great for breastfeeding in public, for example in a restaurant. I recognize the challenges, but also the benefits of having to kids (also with a small age gap of 21 months), and also recognize the small shock in the beginning 😅. Thank you for your videos from the Netherlands 😊❤
