If the baby is chill you could take s nap if tired. Baby A will just break your mental stability down little by little. To the point that you'll be counting down the minutes to bed time and not getting anything done or enjoying the time with the baby

I had baby A for a good few months, and you know what I dont think i could have survived if she didnt sleep all night, because with a full night's sleep I was fine enough to deal with it.

Babies are biologically wired to wake at night, for a myriad of reasons, option b sounds way more normal & tolerable for me personally.

Why would anyone choose a fussy baby? Would your husband have to care for baby A or would that be your job?
I automatically assume babies sleep terribly and so it's a lot easier for me to adjust to not having the sleep I have now vs not having any type of calmness throughout the day.

Wakes up once a night sounds like a dream lol My first was colicky day and night. Awake every hour or 2 until a year old. I think I would pick fussy during the day and sleeps all night because at least I would have a set amount of time without the baby at night. I used to DREAD bedtime with my first

I would of been over the moon if my son only woke once at so definitely option b 😅. He is 3.5 now and still has rarely (I am talking maybe a handful of times max, ever) made it to 5 hours sleep or more in one go and up till a year ago was barely managing 3 hours 😴
Also babies waking themselves over night is a SIDs preventative so I don't think I would sleep any better if they did sleep through at a young age

C. I want baby C who is easy 24/7. 😭 I have twins, so I get a surprise mix of baby A and/or B everyday.
