2+ moms: did anyone have two easy babies?!!

Because my little one is such a mellow lady and I've had it really easy with her I feel like I am doomed to have the most difficult baby ever next. Does it always work like this (1 easy 1 not so easy) or are there people with more than one easy baby?!
She is just such a happy girl, yes she fights naps and doesn't sttn but she's no bother most of the time. Never had any issue b-feeding her, even her delivery was a walk in the park compared to other horror stories I've heard.

So now I'm really afraid to have another fearing I used up all my good luck on this one. Anyone else feel like this?! If I knew they'd all be like M I'd probably have another soon.

I'm sure those with difficult babies this time around are praying for an easy one next time!

    I thought Dylan was an easy baby and then I had Lyla. I think it has a lot to do with parenting style on top of experience. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    I would say in the grand scheme of things, I have had two easy babies. This one being even easier then the DD1. DD1 was a good night sleeper, but crappy napper, and she was a crank monster she was off of her schedule one little bit. Other then that I can't complain. DD2 is more easy going and go with the flow then DD1, and a better napper - which may mostly be the result of having to be because we are on the go more with DD1.

    So, yes, I think it is possible to have two easy babies!

    eta: I thought DD1 was a super super easy baby until DD2 came along and is even easier! So now I think back as DD1 being a bit harder, but at the time I thought it was easy...if that makes any sense at all!

    Things were only difficult with DS1 until we found out he had reflux. He was a few months old when we figured it out. He was always a super happy baby, and once I got him on a good sleep schedule, things were awesome. DS2 was an extremely easy baby, even with RSV. He got it when he was 2 weeks old and took his meds and breathing treatments like a champ. We were in and out of the hospital for months and it never phased him. He even nursed through it. Lexi has been easier than the two of them. I feel so lucky to have not ended up with any high needs babies.

    I didn't read before I posted, but I totally agree with this. I get there are some truly high needs babies out there, but the second time you are (usually) more laid back and not second guessing your every decision.

    Except for naptime, both my kids have been pretty chill babies. There was one week when DD had 5 teeth come in at once, but that was the only bad week.

    I do/did. They have their challenging moments, but overall are pretty easy kids. I'm kind of happy we're done, I'd hate to tempt fate.

    I do.  They're definitely different, but I would say that they are/were both easy infants.  And while DS definitely tries my patience at several points each and every day, I would say that he's a pretty good toddler too!  DH and I got pretty lucky!

    I did not have 2 easy babies but I'm sure it's possible! DD1 has always been very laid back, an excellent sleeper and pretty self sufficient/independent. DD2 is very high maintence, was very colicky and apparently hates sleep.  They already have very different personalities but it keeps me on my toes.

    DD1 was high maintenance and has continued that way through toddlerhood (although she is very sweet and has a great personality). DD2 is easy and laid back (hope it stays that way). Although she has 2 teeth coming in, so last few weeks have been a little rough...
