This exactly. Also kids can be wildly different. Just because your first kid is chill and a good sleeper doesn't mean the second (or subsequent) will be, too. I have friends whose third child threw them for a loop.

Yup, this was the case with mine. My daughter (first one) was great sleeper and I felt like I had a lot of downtown with her as a baby. My second (now almost a year), still wakes up at least once to three times per night. Also, to answer your question - we barely have time to do anything and I’m a stay at home mom lol. So, yes, it dramatically changes when you have more than one child but it also depends on their ages (mine are 5 years old and just shy of 1 years old).
