    So far she has been a really easy baby! She sleeps, eats and potties. The ONLY time she cries is when she is hungry or being changed. Last night, she slept about all night. Right after her quick feedings, (she guzzles them down, already taking 3 ounces) she goes right back to sleep!

    The twins were never this easy! Will it change as she gets older?

    Sure it will change! But typically one child is a bit easier than two. They tend to sleep better and longer and you can spend time with them, feeding them etc on demand which is almost impossible with twins. You are gonna love it Jamie! Sounds like a sweetie! :wub:

    It may change but it may not. I am thinking that you will think this is a breeze after having twins. I know when I look back, one was so easy compared to two! But...for me, the good thing about the twins is that I am older and have the experience and don't have that first time mom feeling, kwim? Enjoy your sweet little girl!

    She may just be an easy baby!!! Plus, a singleton is much easier to care for than twinfants!!!

    Sounds like a dream! Please keep us posted on the experience of having a singleton after twins. I'm considering the same thing (but might wait until my boys go to kindergarten as I am scared of triple strollers!!).

    LOL my twins were like that their first 3 weeks. We had to wake them up to eat, otherwise they slept all the time. We had to feed them a ton, but other than that it was pretty easy compared to now! :laughing:

    I cannot imagine a baby acting like that as I pretty much just held my screaming twins when they were one week old and cried with them!!! :)! Good for you getting to experience a singleton. What a joy for you and your family to have this new blessing! Enjoy!
