opinion: second baby?

Question

Thinking about the future... little one- our first- is 6 mo old and we would like to have another at some point. Pros/cons of waiting until baby is older versus having them closer together? I'll be 34 in May if that's relevant to anyone's decision making ;-)

Answer

Had LO when I was 33. I just turned 34 earlier this year. Will likely be 35 by the time I'm pregnant with #2. Am aiming to BF #1 until she's a year old, then start seriously trying after her 1st birthday. TBH it could take a several months of trying to actually conceive so we figured it's best to get started while we can. Not looking forward to having a sore back and sleepless nights again, but for the sake of our little ones being close by being closer in age, I feel it's worth it.

Answer

27 here and probably going to start trying at her first birthday! Definitely going to be kicking myself with two under two but my sister and I are 4 years apart and it wasn't until after high school (for me as the youngest) that we got the closest! Mostly due to age I think

Answer

I'm having a hard time deciding too! I'm 31 (32 in September) and it's best for me to have babies in the Fall for my self-employed work schedule. I don't know whether to try for another to be born when our 6month old turns 2, or when she turns 3... my fiancé wants them two years apart... but those early years are tough! I've just told him "we'll see what things look like winter 2018" lol

Answer

My plan is to have one out of diapers before we bring another along LOL. But also I live in Canada and we get 1 year mat leave. I would like to have baby #2 (god willing) more than a year before my son starts school so I can enjoy having them
Both at home during the day with me :)
