What are the chances?

That if I have another baby it will also be a poor napper? I dont know the feeling of putting a baby down for a nap and going off to do a load of laundry. Although, I have a great night sleeper so what are the chances I'll have a great mapper and a terrible night sleeper and then be totally screwed. It's all a game of odds right now.

Obviously, I have no experience in a multi-child home environment, but it would totally be my luck that something like that would happen ...

That said, both my brother's kids and DH's sisters kids have fairly consistent sleeping patterns.

In my case, I had one of each. Beckett was a napper, but didn't sleep through the night until he was a year old. Maisy on the other hand was sleeping 10-12 hrs at 8 weeks old, but has never been a great napper. I never know if she's going to take a morning & afternoon nap, a mid day nap, a tiny 20 minute nap late afternoon after nothing all day or what. It can be frustrating when I'm trying to plan out when to run my errands, workout, get my floors mopped, etc. (but on the other hand, a full night of sleep is glorious. I was so ridiculously sleep deprived Beckett's first year because he woke up several times throughout the night even as an older infant). But at least the way the my kids were spaced out meant I wasn't dealing with both at once.

I'd say the odds of having one of each are pretty great.

50/50.
