I'm less strict in some ways and more in others with my second. I try to tailor my parenting to their personalities somewhat.

I don't worry as much about milestones, perfect diets, or pushing independence. Now that I realize how fast they grow, I want to let them be little as long as they like.

Not much different

First planned vaginal birth ended in csection

Strict on feeding i was a chef and degree in nutrition.

Vaxxed

Wasnt into all the baby gear

2nd

Planned vbac ended in csection

Vaxxed

Got into baby wearing

3rd

Planned csection showed up early got an emergency csection

By now more lax of feeding her brothers gave her cookies to keep her from ratting out their stash.

4th will be the same

I swear ive had 4 of the same kid. They all rolled over at 3weeks, sat unassisted at 4.5m , crawled between 5-6 m and walked at 9 months. All are insane and seriously amazing at getting into trouble.

I was twice as protective over my second? in the two years between them I learned to stand my ground and didn't let people do things I didn't like. I wouldn't lay anyone hold him until I saw them wash and sanitize. I was a big b*tch

First kid had vitamin k shot after I was bullied, unvaxxed, no eye goop, formula fed, disposables.

Second kid had oral vitamin K, unvaxxed, no eye goop, breastfed, cloth diapers.

First kid also saw my DH's grandmother. Second child has never, and will never, meet that heartless b**** . You find out a lot from your first to second child.

I think I'll end up doing most things the same as I'm proud of how well I did with my first..my birth plan is different though due to my experience with the epidural and such last time..

My second was just born, so I don't have a lot to go on just yet. But my anxiety is definitely WAY less this time. My breastfeeding approach is different too. With my first I had to pump from day one and use a nipple shield. This time I'm able to take a more traditional approach. No shields and I'm not pumping yet.

I was induced with my first at 37 weeks but #2 came on his own at 38 weeks. It was nice to be able to labor at home for a while.

I definitely did things more by the book with my second and now with my third. Unfortunately with my first I was an ignorant know it all 21 year old suffering from ppd and refused help... I am really embarrassed by the way I handled things with my oldest.. I feel a lot of guilt from it but thankfully I learned from it and grew up and was able to do things differently with these last two

My first pregnancy was much much harder. Had hypermesis gravidirum(sp?) and just overall a nervous wreck and miserable. did EVERYTHING by the book. didnt lay on my stomach, no lunch meat, no caffeine. just a super paranoid ftm. i planned on having a non-medicated vaginal birth. ended in an emergency c-section - at 36 weeks. horrible. lol but this pregnancy is much easier so far. much less vomiting and just doing things im comfortable with. i plan on a VBAC , not really focused at all on if i need an epidural. just hoping for a full-term birth with No NICU stay. thats all i care about. c-sectiom isnt ideal but it wouldnt be the worst thing ever.

My pregnancy was harder the second time (had a 10 month on my hands) labor was fast, everything was really easy raising both, it felt like :) I'm hoping it's the same this time around.

First kid:

planned unmedicated hospital birth. (Medicated, augmented, cesarean)

Babywise, strict schedule

Tried bf'ing, formula fed

Sleep trained

Vaxxed

Early baby food

All the baby gear

Second kid (7 years later):

Planned homebirth vbac (late labor transfer, hospital vbac)

Bf

Follow baby's lead

No sleep training

Not vaxxed

Delayed solids & blw

Less baby gear

Baby 3 pretty much the same plan as baby 2... different prep for labor to avoid previous transfer issues & even less baby gear. Lol

ETA: My first was 13 years ago... things like google & parenting communities pretty much didn't exist. My research was pretty limited.

My pregnancy was harder got cholestasis earlier this time, labor was horrible, pushed for 2 hours and baby was stuck. Everything suck

I don't buy everything baby related that I see (that I did with my first)

I breastfed longer than I did with my first
