What is the best age gap?

[Northernbird11]

My DS is 11 months and everyone around me seems to be pregnant, and it’s making me really want another baby. I feel like crying every time I see another birth announcement. The house we are in is not really big enough to have another, and we are wanting to get married in 2020.. so it’s not ideal timing - it’s like my heart is saying yes but my head is saying no!
What would you say is an ideal age gap? Or is it not that bad to be an only child? (I was) just wanting opinions really and wondering if anyone else went through this stage when they DC’s were a similar age!

I have a DS and DD, they are exactly 17 months apart (both born on the same date so exactly 17m)

I actually think this was a perfect gap because DS was able to entertain himself and wasn't very fussed by DD most of the time. But he was lovely when he did want to know.

Although DS was the worlds easiest baby and most perfect sleeper. He has always been chilled out and happy to entertain himself. That helped massively when breastfeeding a newborn!

They play together lovely as their interests are at the same level really. But when they fight, ohh it's bad haha! I still wouldn't change their age gap though.
