what’s better to have kids closer in age or wait couple years ?

Question

Answer

My first two are 10m apart. 
Im now pregnant with my third and she will be 2.5y younger than my current youngest. 
I can definitely say i feel much better during this pregnancy than my second one that was back to back. But i love the relationship my first two have. They are like twins without being twins. But as much as i love seeing them interact, i wouldnt do it again. If we ever decide to have a 4th, it will be at least another 2.5y gap

Answer

It honestly depends. I think closer in age is really sweet and they can be good friends, but on the flipside I want to make sure that whenever I have my second baby, my first baby is off the nipple or at least weaning off. I don’t want to sacrifice my time and energy and cut it short for my firstborn, just so that they can be closer in age.

Answer

There are definitely pros and cons to each.  My SIL had hers close together and for a few years there it looked like she was on the verge of losing her mind.
I have 3 year gaps and 4 kids so I have been losing my mind for almost a decade now.  
We are both happy with the spacing we went with, although SIL would love another and the close spacing was too much for her husband...so that won’t happen.

Answer

My daughter will be almost 2.5 when her brother comes along and I'm happy with that gap. She sleeps through the night and is mostly independent plus she loves babies lol. If we decide to have one more we will be aiming for that 2 year age gap again.

Answer

Mine are all within 3 years. It’s not for everyone.
