3 years 9 months between siblings? Is this a good age gap ? What is your experience?

Question

I'm just so worried that my daughter and this baby (currently 12 weeks pregnant with #2) will be to far apart in age to bond 🥺 we ran into fertility problems and we had to do an IVF for this second one. 
My husband and I have always wanted three kids so after this baby we will probably wait til he/she is a year old for number 3.

Answer

I have three boys. The eldest is 21 months older than the middle and 3.5 years older than the youngest. The middle is 21 months older than the youngest. My middle boy is autistic and isn't close with either brother. They both still love him a lot and want to play with him but he prefers to be alone. 
My 5 y/o and 2 y/o are the best of friends. They're 3 years and 6 months apart. They play (and fight lol) together constantly. Big brother is his biggest cheerleader when he learns new stuff (walking, potty training, etc). They're together all day when the eldest isn't in kindergarten. Speaking of which, the little one has really been missing him while he's been gone during the day:

Answer

My kids are 3 years apart and are the best of friends, we’ve enjoyed this age gap

Answer

The sister I was closet to was 3 years apart. My husband and BIL are 3 years apart and they are closer than they are with their other brother.

Answer

My kids are 3 years 2 months apart and we love the gap! My son is potty trained, can grab a snack, wants to help with his sister, play with her, etc and it’s so sweet! Now that our daughter is older they can really play, blanket forts, swimming, coloring together - just fun 
They are 4 and 1 now and it’s a blast. They love each other, hang out all the time - I think your gap will be wonderful!

Answer

My youngest kids are 4 years apart & surprisingly they play together all the time! They're 6 & 2. 🥰 My oldest are 3.5 years apart & they're very close as well.

Answer

My boys are 3 years apart and absolutely love each other! Not to say sometimes they don't have their moments but they play well together

Answer

It doesn't matter. My sister and I are two years apart and never speak. Some have huge age gaps and are very close. None of it determines what their relationship or dynamic will be.
