Moms of Two - Questions about spacing...

So, my daughter is now 16 months old, and I am starting to think about when I should try for another.

I was very, very overwhelmed by the experience of having a newborn. I know that the second time will be easier, but there will be a toddler to chase around at the same time...

What do you think is ideal spacing? What factors should I consider?

We plan to try right around your daughters age so that she will be going to pre school a few hours a day 2-3 times a week when I have a newborn. I don't think I could handle 2 all the time right in the beginning. It was extremely overwhelming for me in the beginning and at times it still is.

I was thinking about the same thing.....I think we may try when she's around 12 months plus.

Mine are 18 months apart. Although it's a lot to handle, I think it is whether they are 15 months, 24 months, 30 months and so on.

Overall, I liked it. I was happy we got through the newborn stage while Gabriella had no jealousy issues. Now they are best friends with the occasional "fights."

I know mine are too close for it to work for you anyhow.Chat Icon
