Jamie Lynn Spears recently became a mother of two with the birth of her second daughter, Ivey Joan, last month. She opened up about life with a new baby.
Things went much smoother for her this time around than with her first child, Maddie. She told PEOPLE:
“This time, it’s just been a really peaceful experience. I think the only difference is the support system I have around me.”
As is common when becoming a parent to multiple children, Jamie Lynn feels much more confident with Ivey Joan. She added, “I’m much more sure of myself as a young mother [now]. As a new mother with your first child, you are questioning and guessing everything. And as you go into it the second time, you’re like, ‘I got this. I figured this out one time before; I can do it again.’ You have a little more confidence in yourself.”

Of course, there was a lot of drama that surrounded her first pregnancy. The singer first became a mom at 17.
“As we all know, there was a lot of chaos around my last pregnancy,” she said. “I would say that being a mom is being a mom: It doesn’t matter if you’re in your teens or not, there should be no excuse to not be a great mother. It doesn’t matter what your age is.”
Jamie Lynn is in a much better place now and feels grateful towards her husband, Jamie Watson, and her supportive family.
