Women with several children: Is it better to have them close together or spread apart in age?

Question

Thinking about having my second but my first is only 2 months old.

Answer

All the large families I know all have kids about 2 years apart, which seems to work well

Answer

I wish mine could’ve been closer together in age . I’m pregnant now and my first is 5. But I’m ok with that because he’s really helpful and I know he’ll be a great big brother

Answer

Idk about all that, but I do know it takes your body 18 months to heal completely after a pregnancy. So for that purpose keep your kids 18+9 months apart.

Answer

Spread apart ! As a young mom i wish i would of waited my boys drive me crazy but i love them ❤️ Im a single mom so maybe if i had their dad help then maybe things would of been easy. Mine are 3 & 2.

Answer

I say close together. I wish my brother and I were the same age, even though we’re six years apart. But both of us are at very different times in our lives so it’s hard.
