I think thats a great gap My kids are 3 years appart and i was the middle out of 7 kids all 2 to 3 years appart and we grew up so close ❤️

No best gap personal preference I think We have 19 months! It’s hard somedays but equally he’s adapted so well and quickly because he is so young and they Will grow up In similar age bracket and play with similar stuff and days out

I think 18 to 24 months from the kid perspective. It didn't work out that way for us and my daughter will be almost 3 when baby#2 cones but I'm happy to be having a second! I've heard 4 years is ideal for parents because at 4 the toddler understands what is happening and can help for real a bit

@Bianca I’m just worried it will take me a long time to get pregnant 😬

Dont worry I got pregnant with my first when i gave up on trying after a year, my second i got pregnant again after giving up on no matter the age gap we grew up close, ur little one will embrace having a younger sibling to help mum and dad look after and to look out for no matter the age, when my daughter was born she had older half siblings who are 4 and 5 years older then her that she loves It can take time but it will be worth it

It took us over a year for this pregnancy. If you conceived next month your baby would be almost 3 or 3! It sounds like you're ready to start trying 💕

My daughter will turn 3 when my second will be born and so far, since knowing baby's existence she's so loving to my belly, calls herself older sister all the time and cares for all her dolls like a younger sibling.

@Em my younger two are 19 months apart too. I think I would have preferred a bit longer. Maybe closer to 2-2.5 years. We were trying but didn't expect to conceive as quickly as we did. But all worked out in the end and they are typical siblings. Sometimes they play nice and sometimes they try to beat the crap out of each other

My kids are 9.5 years apart and I absolutely love it. My daughter got to be an only child and now her brother gets his time. I don't have to worry about my other kid when the little one needs me.

I’m only 7 weeks in to having 2 kids but we have a little over a 3 year age gap and it’s been a good gap so far. Big brother is very into baby sister and can do simple things to help like grab a burp cloth, etc. Having only one kid in diapers is great. And he’s old enough to intellectually understand a lot which helps even though obviously it’s a huge emotional adjustment!

@Janae I love this. My sister and I are seven years apart and she’s my best friend
