Second baby 😂🤍

My maternity leave is ending 😭😭 and I’m starting to think about when I would like to start trying for a second baby. What’s everyone’s thoughts on this for themselves or if you already have more than one, pros and cons on the gap, what ages work well together etc., I’ve heard 2 under 2 is a nightmare?

I’m hoping to start trying end of 2025/start of 2026 - would like this one potty trained and fully out of baby stage 🤣

We've got a 7/8 month old and our eldest is two year 8 months older. Whatever age gap you'll have you'll make it work and there's pros and cons of both. I like that our eldest was slightly older so she could understand things more and was a bit more independent

2 under 2 is hard but it’s been great… one is 2 years 3 months and the other nearly 9 months… I always wanted them close and I’ve enjoyed it soo much… we’re going to try for another next year I think the close age gap is lovely… and it possible to cater for both their needs… my little girl has just potty trained and I’ve managed to breast feed both and still am to this day! Do what makes you happy and when you feel the time is right there is wrong or right time x

I have a 2 year 2 month age gap. It is hard, juggling the sleep changes for both. Potty training while looking after a baby and the attention both like but I would say it is worth it. My toddler loves his brother and there are already times they 'play' together. I would agree with Laura if you can do potty training 1st that's been the hardest for me and 2 lots of nappies vets expensive

This my first but unless it's accidental my rule is Im not having two under two 😂 i need this lil monster to be able to entertain herself first 😂

My age gap is 2 years 1 month and I absolutely love it. I would try for another now if I could convince my partner 😂 you just adapt no matter what, and even if it’s hard, it won’t be forever!

Ours is 3.5 years apart. Good is fully potty trained, v Independent from a daily doing things himself perspective. Negative is that they can't quite play together yet but I expect that to change once the youngest is toddling along! Other consideration is lots of big feelings and incoming transitions with primary school next year! Can't wait to be out of nappy buying phase of life 😅.

I’m hoping to start trying for our second one next year after the summer & hopefully give birth in Q1 2026. I just want to enjoy next year’s summer without being pregnant 😆
