About this listen
Having a second baby is a very different experience from having your first, yet there is little recognition of the wide range of issues that need to be considered when bringing a second child into the family. In this incredibly helpful book, Sarah Ockwell-Smith helps parents feel more positive and prepared for life with two children.
The book begins with the obvious question: when is the right time to add another member to the family? It then goes on to examine the specific issues that can arise with a second pregnancy and birth; the common concerns about siblings, such as how to prepare your firstborn for what's to come; how to cope with the practicalities of life with two young children (aka actually managing to get anything done!); and the feelings parents are likely to experience, too.
The Second Baby Book examines all the questions and issues Sarah herself faced second time around as well as sharing the experiences of the many parents who have sought her advice. It also highlights what scientific studies reveal about such issues as the spacing of children and the differences between first and second births. Practical, insightful and honest, this book will help you understand the challenges ahead, but, more importantly, it will equip you to meet them with knowledge, confidence and a sense of excitement for the future.

Validating for an expectant second time mother
The guilt and feeling overwhelm when expecting a second baby can make it so difficult to enjoy. This book does a really good job at normalizing a lot of the feelings that you will have around bringing a second baby into your family. Helpful tips, easy to listen to, a good review from what you may have learned about your first and how to apply it to a second.

Helpful and insightful
Overall, I enjoyed the book. I appreciate the tips and the discussions of the harder topics too (i.e. gender disappointment and newborn challenges).

I just had my second
I just had my second baby and although being over the moon happy about her and our oldest I was having a really hard time coping with guilt and this book just hit the nail on the head of what I needed to hear to help. It’s a must read for all second time parents.

helps feel calmer normal and validated and offers alot of great practical advice
Great book overall
Definitely applied to a closer age gap but still offered helpful advice that I could apply to my children (near 6 year age gap) and offered perspective shifts and reframes fo fully understand what our eldest might be going through and how it might show up annnddd what to do to support her! Thank you!

okay but very biased
The book is very focused on attachment parenting style, wearing your second baby on a sling all the time, co-sleeping and such... very few actual good practical advice
