How easy is this newborn and what are the chances of having a second kid like that?

Newborn 0-8 Wks

Hi,

My daughter is 12 days old. She wakes up every 3-4 hours, drinks formula, then she takes some rocking to go back to sleep and then you can put her in her bassinet and she sleeps for about 2 hours. The crying is about 2 hours per day, mostly because of gassiness. Most of her crying has a straightforward cause and can be stopped reasonably. As I barely know anyone with babies, is my daughter an easy baby or average? We know all of this can change during all the sleep regressions and as she gets older.

I was really scared for years to get pregnant as all I ever heard about babies was how horrible it was, and how tired you are, and how the baby never stops crying and PPD and PPA and all that. Weirdly, my experience so far has been really good.

What are the chances of having a second child like this? Thanks in advance
