Differences between being a first born and second born. As it turns out, second-born children have a much different experience growing up. Parenting techniques change drastically when parents know what they do and don’t have to worry about. Friends may have been excited for you the first time you had a child, but when the second-born comes along, their enthusiasm definitely wears off. These are just some of the differences between having a first child versus a second child.

Summary:
9. Food. Parents always take care to do things exactly right the first time, like eating only healthy food. The second time, they just want to be comfortable and happy, which is also exactly what they want for their kids. The first time around, parents may be paranoid about what they are feeding their children. Because they are new to the whole parenting thing, they tend to take extra precautions to make sure that they are feeding their children healthy food which will not put them in danger. And in the same vein as parents worrying about what their kids eat, they also worry when their kids get sick. However, they worry less once they’ve been through it all before.

Once parents have gone through all the motions, trials, and tribulations of having a first child, they are more prepared and more relaxed and comfortable when it comes to caring for their second child. This means that they won't’ be as strict when it comes to feeding the second child healthy food.

8. Money gets tight. Having one kid can be expensive, but parents want only the best for their child. However, once the second kid comes along, they might realize money gets tight. This is why parents who sign their first kids up for all sorts of lessons and activities may not do so the second time around. Taking kids to different activities to help them learn can get pretty exhausting, so usually parents just try to teach as they go for all subsequent kids. It can be difficult to manage finances when there are multiple kids involved, and schedules can get busy and hectic when there are so many things going on. So parents tend to teach their kids certain things themselves.

7. Baby books. Baby books can only tell you so much about parenting. By the time parents have their second child, they’re looking for inspiration from any source. Most first time parents have probably read a baby book or two in their lifetime, but nothing can actually prepare you for becoming a parent than experiencing the real thing.

6. Always worrying. Parents might have moments of insecurity about raising their first child. They question if everything they’re doing is good enough, but they quickly realize that the kids turn out fine.

5. Hand-me-downs. Hand-me-downs are a universal experience for every younger sibling. The first one gets fresh new clothes, the second gets whatever doesn’t fit anymore. And as much as younger siblings hate Hand-me-downs, they are a blessing for parents - especially if siblings are the same gender.

4. Television. Some parents endeavor to keep their kid from watching too much television, but once they have two kids they realize that TV can actually be very helpful.

3. Accomplishments. Once parents have one kid, they’ve seen it all. The accomplishments of the first-born are never quite the same the second time around. Of course, accomplishments and achievements are always important, but they can never really compare to the first time parents experience things with children.

2. The first day of school. The first day of school is a big event when it comes to both children. The first time, parents are proud of their kid and excited for them. The second time, they’re happy to be free again.

1. High expectations. There is a saying that the youngest child of the family tends to be the favorite, but there is no doubting that the oldest child of the family always has high expectations set on them by their parents.
