This giveaway is closed. Congratulations goes to Jessica.
First Kid, Second Kid – How have you changed from your first kid to your second kid? Whether is was comfort with taking care of a cold, the type of diapers you used, or picking up a pacifier on the floor chances are we all handle something differently with our second child!
Right now Luvs Diapers has a fun “First Kid/Second Kid” promotion going on. Moms learn so much from the first child, that the actions we take with our second tend to be different. Both my children had pacifiers and while first I promised I would never give my children a pacifier, they took to it and I used it. With the second, I also would casually wipe off the pacifier before placing it back in her mouth.
Be sure to also head over to Amazon to check out the new Luvs Coupon!! This makes diapers as low as $.10 per diaper (starting at size 1). Make sure you are logged into your Amazon account, clip the coupon and add it to your cart using Subscribe & Save!

Amanda C says
I cherished my tme more with my second one after learning oh how fast the first one grew :)
Georgina says
What I have done different with my second baby verses my first is I learned what I really need to buy and everything else comes from the goodwill, ymca, or yardsales!
kim sh says
for sure
kerri says
With my first, I was always on a schedule and watching every little thing she did. With my second I was much more laid back and let her get away with much more. Be praying for my third, due Feb 23rd!

Tara Pfarner says
I’m sooo much more laid back with the second kid….I’m not pushing anything like eating solids or crawling. It will all happen too quickly anyways.
Daniella C says
My 1st child I had on a strict schedule. Every 3 hours she would have her bottle, she had a certain nap time. My 2nd child my ways of doing things with the 1st went out the window. I guess since i was more comfortable and experienced, I just knew when he was hungry, tired etc. You live and you learn!
Daniella C says
I have “liked” you of fb…love you guys and all your awesome deals, sites etc! sharing your post on fb as well!
Amy D says
I remembered having fewer newer clothing items and didn’t stress out because I couldn’t breast feed her as much.

Aly Michels says
With my first, I would crawl on the floor behind her to make sure she wasn’t putting crumbs or dirt in her mouth. With my second, I lined up puffs on floor to encourage her to crawl…and a little dirt is fine! Expecting number three :)
Aly Michels says
I do subscribe to your emails already. And I agree with going to the thrift store more often with my second child lol
Rachel says
With my second child, I tend to worry less about the small things.
Nicole Harris says
With my first child I worried about ever y bump and bruise, but with my second I realized there is no need to sweat the small stuff!
kim sh says

3rd do whatever makes baby happy worry less, 4th the same, 5th was a preemie so schedule and worry, 6th spoiled cause they do grow so fast, 7th loving and spoiling cause it may be my last.

My first were twin boys…so I did everything different when I had my ONE little baby girl! The biggest difference is that I got to breastfeed my girl. :)
Meggen Decker says
I subscribed! :)
lissa says
I got my twins on a schedule within four months, whereas everything was “on demand” for two years.
lissa says
I nursed my first born for 19 months- and he still wasn’t ready to wean! With my twins, I pumped for four months and had to supplement with formula from the beginning.
lissa says
My first born co-slept with me for two years, whereas my twins slept in their own cribs/beds from the beginning.
Meggen Decker says
And shared on Facebook and twitter :)
lissa says
My first (and third) born took to solids starting at six months. My second born is 2.5 and still needs to be bottle fed because of her disabilities.
Lexie H. says
I would say I treated the children the same, but I did nurse my second child until she was 2 years verses the first until she was 9.5 months.
Dana Edwards says
Everything! lol I didn’t want the first one to get dirty. I wanted a “perfect” picture of a family. House spotless, child spotless, husband and wife dressed to kill. I wanted him to do everything faster and better than the other kids. It was ridiculous! ;) Now I have 4, my house is always a wreck, I can’t afford to dress to kill, husband is always in jeans and a t-shirt, and they will hit all their milestones when they are ready. They outnumber me like crazy….I’m lucky to get a shower most days! And we are still “perfect”, even if we won’t be on the cover of Parents magazine anytime soon….or well, EVER!
Melody Hudson says
For me my first kid I had to cater to every whim and whimper, just had to see what was going on with her every minute. My second. third and now fourth kid…well I think I’ve got the cries and whines down to almost a science and things are more by schedule than on demand. Lol.
Jessica says
With the second I started teaching him different languages much sooner than my first child. It’s just hard to believe how soon they can start learning everything.

Amy says
I just subscribed to your emails!
With my first one you thoroughly clean and sanitize everything that they touch. With the second child the ‘five second rule’ becomes a way of life. Also, since I have an older child my second one did much more at an earlier age. Walking, crawling, turning the car seat around was a battle I fought for a long time.
Amanda Hoffman says
i only have one kid but i have more i think ill be less worried about stuff
Kelly H. says
I was not as worried about germs.
Lisa says
With my second child I made more of my own baby food and used disposable diapers totally. My first one I used both cloth and disposables. I was more relaxed and did not come unglued if the pacifier hit the car seat, five second rule applied to most things depending on where they were dropped.
Lisa says
Subscribed to email I think more than once now but at least once…lol

With the first I jumped up everytime she cried and freaked out of every little thing, with the second I didn’t:)
Sarah B. says
I didn’t let my second sleep in bed with us!!

With my second boy, I didn’t stress out as much about every little thing like I did with my first.

Erin Heyward says
With my second child, anyone that wants to hold her, I just pass her over, without a second thought, no washing their hands or using anti-bac, “here you go”!!!
Tracie says
I shared on Facebook.
With my first I was able to devote all of my time and attention to him. His pacifier was always clean. I read all the baby books. Then when number two came we did not even do a pacifier. I started changing my thoughts on parenting. I decided that everything I needed to know was not in a book. I learned from my first! Even now I am learning from my first what not to do with my second(third, fourth and fifth!). However my first gets lots of great advantages since he is my oldest. He gets to do a lot of firsts that my others do not get the chance to experience!
Mandy Stucke says
I seem to be opposite, I was calm with the first but more stressed after the second came.
sarah says
I rinsed stuff off that fell on the floor more for my first than my second. I panicked more often with her, too. Now I’m a seasoned veteran mother and my third kid is doing okay. :)
katy anderson says
kendall is my fifth so i’m really comfortable with him. with my first child i worried over EVERYTHING! when you get to number five you realize that babies are more resiliant than you thought with the first one.
Misty Massie says
I did everything different! The biggest thing, is that I started my second child out sleeping OUT of my bed rather with me from the first day. Well, maybe the second day ;) Such a huge difference it made in the first year its probably the only reason i still have my sanity.
Stefanie says
With my first I jumped on getting his college fund started and added to it a few times; the 2nd came along 2 years later and we still haven’t set up his college fund (he’s 16 months!) Now number 3 is on the way so we’ll need to get #2 and #3’s funds going…
Stephanie C says
Instead of buying new, expensive things with the first that I thought I HAD to have, I got a lot of things from yard sales for the second. Babies grow out of clothes, toys and everything else so fast it’s not worth all that money when they use it for 3 months.

I have been way less obsessive the second time around, with germs (okay I am still slightly obsessive, but not nearly as bad) I am much more relaxed about getting bumps and bruises
Valerie Brenner (Jason Smith) says
I bought way less stuff and no baby shower (seven years apart and different sexes).
Valerie Brenner (Jason Smith) says
I get your emails.
Sherri says
I will probably be less obsessive the second time around but I have an 11 month old now so there will not be a second time around for quite a while if there is at all! :)
Corinna McCu says
I was alot more at ease with my second child and not so worried about messing her up. I realized the little things didn’t really matter that much in the long run.
Jessica W says
I stocked up (froze) more breastmilk.

Tammy says
I didn’t make my first born try any foods he didn’t want to try, and gave him candy/sweets when he was barely 1. With the second, we held off sweets/treats til he was 2, and he eats a variety of things now. My oldest (11) is still super picky, and my 9 year old (2nd) eats anything. We also have 3 younger children, 2 of whom are still in diapers. We followed the same concept with the last 3 kiddos as we did with child #2. :-)

Heidi Reynolds says
with our first son I was more concerned about advancing him constantly i.e, he crawls he needs to walk, he eats food he should be done with the bottle, I just worried that he be constantly advancing rather than letting it happen. with our second son, he did things as he did them and I realized that I could still be considered a good mom.
