1873. It was narrated from Anas that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Whoever seeks reward for (the loss of) three of his own children, he will enter Paradise." A woman stood up and said: "Or two?" He said: "Or two." The woman said: "I wish that I had said, 'or one.'" (Sahîh)
1872 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي بُكَيْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ احْتَسَبَ ثَلَاثَةً مِنْ صُلْبِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ»، فَقَامَتِ امْرَأَةٌ، فَقَالَتْ: أَوِ اثْنَانِ؟ قَالَ: «أَوِ اثْنَانِ»، قَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ: يَا لَيْتَنِي قُلْتُ وَاحِدًا

In reality, the reward is for patience, whether it is upon the death of one child, or two or three children, though, there would be decrease or increase in the magnitude of the reward. In any case, in order to be admitted into Paradise, to supplicate for patience and recompense upon the death of one child would suffice, as has preceded in Hadith 1872!
