    I have two kids 19 months apart. i can say that it has its moments when it seems impossibly difficult but most of the time its not much different than one.

    i think that going from zero to one was far more difficult than going from 1 to 2.

    for anyone that is expecting a second child i would suggest preparing the firstborn throughout the entire pregnancy every way u can, let them help when the baby is born, and dont forget about him/her, but make sure they understand that u need to take time to breastfeed the baby.

    Good Luck!!

    I just posted a question similar. I don't think I'm going to be much help, but I have a son that is almost 11 months. Part of me wants another one really bad but then I wonder if I have the time and energy for another one. And is it cheating my son from attention he deserves? I also really don't want my children to fight all the time. My sisters are 1 1/2 apart and they fight over EVERYTHING. I don't want that for my children, so I am stuck in the middle.

    I didn't find it very easy, and still find it difficult to this day. My boys are 13 months apart, so that really makes it worse, but it's never easy with 2 kids, haha. It just takes some getting used to really, after time you'll get used to it and it'll just be like second nature.

    Going from 1 to 2 is the hardest (2-3 or 3-4 is easier). Because he's young, it won't be too bad. The older they get, the more used to being spoiled and getting all the attention they are. You'll probably be fine.

    i think i might say a million to 2 merely through fact it extremely is a huge replace to have extra beneficial than one newborn to shelter. I unquestionably have a son who merely became 4, a daughter who merely became 2 and a 7 week previous daughter. This time all of it appeared to easily be so organic, in keeping with hazard that is merely extra adventure. the only element i might say is extra sturdy is getting 3 teenagers waiting and out of the residing house yet this is principally through fact of my 2 365 days previous, so in keeping with hazard through fact yours would be slightly older while the hot one comes that is not extremely as difficult. Congrats!

    i have a 27 months old and a 4 month old and i find it pretty easy because my first daughter is very calm she loves to help and is a very good listener she loves to follow rules and help mommy with the baby... it all depends on how your first born is..

    my fear was how would I love them the same, but it all came natural. I think it would be easier to have another baby once your baby is potty trained.
