Best age gap for your children?

Question

Any experiences of close together or far apart then please comment! 
My husband and I have always said we wanted close together but want to hear some experiences from other people first! 🙂

Answer

My first 2 are 18 months apart and it was absolutely perfect. My oldest was too you g to understand jealousy when her sister was born. And as the second reached 1 they were still interested in the same things. They pretty much potty trained at the same time because my second watched my oldest and just picked it up. 
I’m expecting our third which will be almost 3 years after baby #2 and I’m terrified. 
If we could have planned perfectly there would have been another 18 month gap but life doesn’t work like that. 
So I’m actually super terrified of how this will go 😂

Answer

Im due with #6 in April. My older 3 are all 3 yrs apart. That was the easiest by far. Never had 2 in diapers at the same time. And each one had passed terrible twos before the next one was born. 
My 3rd was 8 when my 4th was born so it was easy just having one baby around. My 4th, 5th, and 6th are all almost 2 yrs on the dot apart. Its challenging sometimes. I didnt care much for having 2 kids in diapers at the same time. They fight more over toys and it is a bit more stressful. Its all manageable tho.

Answer

My first 2 and less than 2 years apart and this baby will be 8 and 9 years younger than them. So I guess I’m about to find out lol.

Answer

I have a 6 year old a 2 year old and a 1 year old. 
I love my kids wish they were closer together 
My two oldest nice can do things it been annoying dealing with the 1 year old stage latly getting into everything stays on one things for a sec or 2 ect. 
But it is what it is. 
Me and my brother are almost 5 years apart it very hard that I can do thinks with my 6 year old that I cant with my other two.

Answer

I really enjoyed the 14 year age gap between my 2nd and 3rd 🤣

Answer

My sister had her kids about one year apart and one advice she gave me is to not do that LOL I will most likely wait a full 2 years to start trying again.

Answer

My mom told me to have one kid out of diapers and somewhat independent before you bring in another baby. My brother and I are three years apart and so are my kids￼, it’s much easier for me than dealing with two babies. My sister-in-law is currently eight months pregnant and her first born isn’t even a year and a half old yet, and she’s already having a hard time. 😅 I can’t even imagine having two “baby babies” at the same time￼.

Answer

I would have absolutely loved mine to be a couple of years apart but due to various reasons ended up with a ten year gap 😂 they have a really good bond though

Answer

Mine are 14 months apart 
The first year was really easy, but now my son will be 2 and a half next month and my daughter is 14 months and it’s getting pretty hard.  My son is at the age when he’s being really defiant and my daughter is getting into everything also

Answer

I an due to be induced tomorrow with our second child. She will be 4 years and 11 months younger than our first daughter.... I'll let you know how that turns out. Right now big sister is SUPER excited.
