When the first child arrives, most moms are completely focused on it and they track every detail concerning their baby. But, when it comes to the second child, moms usually become more laid-back, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t pay attention to their kid, but only that they’re not as obsessively attentive as with the first one.
These are the 4 differences between 1st and 2nd-time moms which are the most usual and which doesn’t serve to prove that you have a lack of attention for your child, but only that things are different.
Wardrobe
With the first baby, you will most probably have a vast collection of new baby clothes gifted by many people who are close to you or your family. And with the second you’ll have a collection consisting mostly of pre-owned and pre-stained clothes.
Documentation
You’ll definitely spend more time making a documentation of every step your first child makes. But with the second child, you won’t be as thorough and you won’t be documenting every meal it has, for example.
Sickness
If your 1st baby is the least little bit fussy, you’ll most probably do a deep examination of every possible sickness indicator. With the 2nd kid, you may not be as paranoid as with the first.
