Stella is so different from Sarah that I sometimes feel like a first-time mom.

Sarah was good at nursing, but not incredibly into it: she would stop, smile, start, stop, turn around, and later on even sit up. She was also a bit of a picky eater from the very first moment. Not that interested in food, in fact.
Stella was a champion nurser, she latched on better, didn’t get distracted while nursing, really enjoyed it, even after we started solids (whcih she also enjoyed a lot!). That kept me nursing for a little over 10 months, compared to the 5 1/2 months I nursed Sarah. It seemed like such a long time then, now I feel bad about it.

Sarah was lovely, easy, uncomplicated, played a lot on her own.
Stella is loud, demanding and she wants to be included in everything and doesn’t like to play alone.

Sarah was quiet and didn’t speak much until she was almost 3.
Stella talks all the time, repeats everything, knows a lot of words and can string several words together in small sentences and expressions.

One thing they have in common: they want to co-sleep and resist the crib and hate waking up and not finding me there. But Stella is much louder in her protests
