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.

Soothing and reassuring
This book covers so much! Pretty much every worry related to having the second child. Knowing that you’re not the only one feeling what you’re feeling helps to accept the situation and really lessen guilt and worries. Definitely recommend to anyone planning or expecting the second child.

Great
I’m so glad I read this while I was pregnant with my second child. It made the transition as smooth as possible and helped me understand my child and how I could help her adjust to being a big sister.

Believes gender is a social construct
Overall this book was helpful in what it mentions, but I was blindsided that a woman who claims to look at scientific studies (probably doesn’t understand methodology) believes gender is a social construct. Read Why Gender Matters by Dr. Leonard Sax. Or listen to Steven Crowder’s “There Are Only Two Genders, Change My Mind” debate. They cite lots of well researched science on this. Parents who treat their kids like sex and gender are different are harming their children in so many ways (read the book, you’ll know specifics then). Thank God I didn’t grow up a few years later than what I did, as a tomboy teen I would have been transitioned and had lifelong consequences.
