I feel like a first time mom again

All of the lessons and "tricks" I learned with Katelyn, have all gone out the window with Taylor! Why is it that EVERYTHING that worked or didn't work with Katelyn is the complete opposite with Taylor and I have to learn ALL new tricks! That's just not fair! Here are some examples:

Lesson #1-Swaddling always works to calm down a crying baby and to keep her asleep...Taylor NEVER liked to be swaddled and still won't stay asleep
Trick #1- Baby Einstein works wonders and gives you that 20 minutes you need to take a shower or get things done...Taylor won't watch any TV, and is bored with the Baby Einstein videos
Lesson #2- The bouncer is a life saver and keeps your baby entertained for long periods of time...Taylor hates being in the bouncer, in fact she hates any place other than my arms!
Trick #2- White noise is a miracle and can get any crying baby to sleep...not Taylor!

On the other hand, Taylor is a much happier baby than Katelyn was...she just wants to be held all day which makes it hard for me to get anything done. But I will take holding a happy baby all day over a screaming, colic baby ANY DAY!
So, for those moms who have like 10 babies...do they have to learn new tricks EVERY time!?

Unfortunalty, Yes. My kids are as different as night and day and have been since birth. Doesn't that just make life wonderful?

At least they keep you on your toes with new experiments.
