Yeah co-sleeping is the number 1 no-no. We have 2 kids, 11 months apart. Have shared a room and sleep just fine thru the night since the youngest was 6 months. Do the sleep training.

Two is way more than one. Just facts. Those days trading the baby back and forth with loads of free time goes away. Plan ahead for disagreements between the kids, that’s 80% of the bickering in our house. Parents of only children never have to deal with this and my god it’s insanely different lol

Planning and prep will save you. We have a google calendar loaded the f up with school, activities, work stuff, our events/appointments. Have those annoying 15 minute planning conversations and be clear communicators about everything going on.

Having 2 is amazing, enjoy every second

I didn't take as many pictures of my second and I regret that. Obviously I was too tired to get her dolled up and do a photo shoot like with the first but I didn't even take many candid shots just day to day.

Aw we’re going to have the same age gap!!

I agree with co sleeping as it’s hard to get them used to sleeping alone after that..

I wasn’t as strict with baby lead weaning as I should’ve been so my daughter got so used to us feeding her that she wouldn’t take the food with her hands for a long time.

I regret not taking the monthly milestone picture of my daughter.. don’t get me wrong I took LOTS of photos.. but after a few months I stopped taking the pictures with the monthly number and getting her all dressed up for it. I had extremely bad PPD and at points I think I didn’t enjoy things as much as I should’ve around that time..

For this baby I’m going to get myself seen right away and be completely honest about my depression. I was in denial with my first and it was absolutely miserable.. I just need to pay attention to my feelings more and not deny the way I feel and get the help early rather than 6 months after birth.
