Did you find it sad when your babies became toddlers?

[Melody74]

Was talking to my OH last night and he said he couldn't wait until LO was toddling around and chatting. I felt quite sad thinking about that as I am loving this baby phase. I'm pretty besotted with my baby girl and really surprised at how fast she is growing and changing each day. It doesn't make me want another as such, but the idea that baby Darcy will not be like this forever I'm actually finding quite sad. But it's associated with her and her nature specifically as opposed to me just wanting a baby.

For those with toddlers - did you/do you miss their baby phase? Does it actually get better as they grow and their characters develop or is it sad when they leave the baby phase behind?

My daughters nearly six and I find it sad sometimes that she's growing up so quickly. But it's also really nice to see her growing up and becoming her own person- she's so funny and really into fashion. We are like best mates now but she will always be my baby girl. Just make the most of them whatever age they are it's all fun x

you know funny you said it, i couldn't quite place the feeling - I don't want other kids, I really don't, but seeing her growing up so fast I started thinking that I already miss her when she was tiny itsy bitsy bean. Now she wears 12 month old clothes already, rolls around, keeps talking in her baby language and I love every minute of it, but she's growing like by the hour and it's scary and I feel like I might reconsider and have another bubs.

I missed it when the tiny baby bit starting passing so fast. But now at 8 months I find she does something new each day and every smile or new movement makes her more of a perfect little person and I am loving the beautiful little girl she is becoming. She's becoming even more fun!

I'm really starting to miss newborn Jacob. He's not quite a toddler yet but he doesn't seem so baby like anymore either.. hes turning into a little boy by the day, by each hour! Hes crawling and standing up holding things.. I dunno where the time goes

I'm enjoying that he still pretty much stays put, but otherwise I look forward to the toddler stage where he can do more and communicate.

I feel exactly the same, i've even cried each time ruby has moved up another clothes size lol, like you said its not about wanting another baby it's the nature of this baby and the little things they do that you can never get back again even if you had 10 more babies xx
