The gaps between mine areRandom question for those who already have kids: do you think there’s an ideal time to have another baby? In terms of pregnancy and dealing with the child you already have… relationship between siblings… that kind of thing? I know it’s really just whatever you decide to do but would love to hear people’s thoughts on this. Better to have them close together or do you think a bigger gap of a few years is better?
2yrs 7months (1-2)
2yrs 10 months (2-3)
2yrs 6 months (3-4)
So not a huge difference across mine, and it’s been a great age difference. Long enough that my toddler is able to understand things well, they can wait if needed for something, they are well through potty training so don’t need help with that, and they are old enough to enjoy having a baby sibling (holding, helping with nappies)
However, they are still young enough to nap () and they all play so well together as the age gap isn’t huge.
10/10 would recommend
ETA: my siblings are older than me, closest in age is 4.5yrs older, and I remember playing by myself a lot as she was that bit older and didn’t want to play the same as I did (she is an amazing sister, always has been though! 11/10 for her )
