Hi 😊,
What are your suggestions about the best age gap between 3 kids.
Thank you

I’ve had 22 month age gap then a 3.5 year age gap. It’s working really nicely so far as the older two are close and play well together (and are in nursery/school!) while I can focus on the baby. It would have broken me to have had a third any earlier as I found two under two very hard 😅 having a third after a decent gap has been a walk in the park in comparison!

Yess, I like the idea of having 2 children close together and then 1 child 3-4 years apart because they are good dynamics for everyone (everyone has a playmate and there's also a sweet relationship between the oldest and youngest like taking care of each other)
