Second baby

We're planning to start trying just before myay baby is 18 months

Our May baby is our second, I got pregnant when my son was around 18 months and they have a 2 year 2 month age gap. It was pretty tough in the early days but I’m not sure if that’s because we were moving house too (do not recommend!) but now my May baby is 6 months it’s much easier and my 2 year old is getting much better with him.

I’ve got a twenty month age gap. I’m sure people will say there’s pros and cons to all age gaps. I think it’s lovely taking them both to baby groups and still send my oldest to nursery two days a week so still get the lovely time with my baby too. Whereas others might want the oldest in school to have more bonding time with baby. It’s what you’re looking for x

We have 2y 9m between our two. It’s a good gap. The eldest is somewhat independent and now they’re really cute together.

I’ve got a 4 year gap between my kids and I think it is amazing. He is gone off to school and I have the time to fully focus on the baby and when the older is back I can, without feeling guilty, focus more on him. Also financially it’s less stress as there is no double nursery bill to be covered. It does depend what you prefer and other personal factors. We don’t get funding for nursery so that was a big deciding factor for us not to have one until first is at school.

Our May baby is our second. We have about a 3.5 year gap between both our kids and honestly it just works so well. He loves to entertain her and play with her. He also has a sense of responsibility towards her which also makes him feel closer to her. We didn't have any issues with jealousy or regressions. This gap really works well for us. I also feel like we had enough time to recover from the baby and early toddler phase. My pregnancy was quite smooth as our toddler was old enough to understand when I wasn't feeling too well due to morning sickness. Also we did so many daddy/son and mommy/son dates or all of us. It was super enjoyable. When they hit the 3+ year mark you can actually reason with them 😅

Dr told me to wait 18 months before I got pregnant again due to section, I waited exactly that 🤣 due in May, they’ll be 26 months between both x

I have my girls 21 months apart , I am not going to lie but there is a days when it’s hard and I am struggling but I wouldn’t change to the world. I absolutely love my girls, I cannot imagine being mum of one my second girl wasn’t planned but trust me it’s all worth having kids close to other is the best thing I ever seen, my oldest girl absolutely loves her little sister, she can’t wait to play with her . She was a bit jealous when she was born but it didn’t last long. There always be days when it’s hard , it’s not easy all the time. But it’s all worth it xxx

Mine are 4 years apart and I think it’s a brilliant age gap. My little boy was old enough to understand what was happening and rules around the baby. We all had some time together over the summer and now me and baby have 1:1 time while the eldest is at school!

Mine are 15 months apart and I don’t regret it one bit I love it so much they’re learning together and can attend the same things and they both still take naps for the fist year it’s a win win my 6month old is learning so much from his big sister I really recommend having them close they will have an amazing bond
