Am I selfish to want another baby when my 1st is only 8 months old?

Question

Answer

Do whatever is in your heart

Answer

Understand the risks of having children closer than 18 months apart before making a decision.

Answer

Heck no, ours is 8 months old, I want to have another so he will have a playmate around the same age, and a lifelong friend.

Answer

I don't think it makes you selfish but I do think you should think about the pros and cons of having kids that close in age.

Answer

Not at all. I got pregnant with my second only 4 months after having my first. They're doing great and my older girl absolutely adores her little sister, just loves her to pieces and it's always trying to "help" me take care of her (put her pacifier back in her mouth, pat her back for burps, being me burp cloths, being her toys even though she's too young to really play with them, and she does it all voluntarily). It warms my heart to see them bond. Absolutely no regrets and I would already be trying for another if it weren't for my health.

Answer

Nope! I'm waiting so that my babies will be at least two years apart (for many reasons) but I've honestly had baby fever since about a week after my son was born!
