Colic
I’m hoping to hear from moms who have more than one child because I’m struggling with some anxiety about having a second baby.
My first baby had a pretty rough start with colic, reflux, and eventually we found out he had a milk protein allergy. Those first few months were honestly some of the hardest of my life. There was a lot of crying, very little sleep, constant worrying, and feeling like I was always trying to figure out what was wrong.
Now that we’re thinking about baby #2, I find myself feeling scared that I’ll go through all of that again. I know every baby is different, but it’s hard not to wonder if colic, reflux, or allergies are likely to happen again when you’ve already experienced it once.
For moms who had a difficult first baby, what was your second baby like? Did you have similar issues, or was the experience completely different? If your first had reflux, colic, or a dairy allergy, did your other children have it too?
I would love to hear your experiences, good or bad. I think hearing real stories from other parents might help ease some of my worries. ❤️
