My baby is 3 months old. Exclusively breastfeeding. Just started my first period PP and I already want another one! My husband also wants another😬 should we wait or start trying?

Question

Obviously we will make the ultimate decision. Just wanted to hear from people/people with babies close in age!

Answer

Research suggests it is healthiest to wait two years before getting pregnant again. Pregnancy and childbirth are extremely physically and emotionally taxing, and it takes a very long time to fully heal

Answer

I had my girls 15 months apart. 
Loved it. Gets that baby stage all over and done with. They're close as well.
I'm pregnant again 8 almost 9 years after having my second and I'm more nervous this time to regress back into that baby stage.

Answer

I had baby fever until my son was about 6 or 7 months old. Now he’s 11 months old and I’m glad I didn’t get pregnant because he is a handful! I realized I wanted another baby when my son was easier to take care of but right now I know I’d almost die if I had to take on 2 of him at once! We plan on waiting until he’s at least 18 months before trying again.

Answer

I’m all for having kids close in age, my boys will be 18 months apart. That said, I would wait at least a few more months if I were you. I asked multiple doctors and also asked all my friends what their doctors said was the earliest it is “safe” to start trying for baby number 2, and the shortest amount of time I have heard from anyone has been 6 months (most said 12-18 months).
