What is the age gap between your kids and how have you found it?

I have a 5.5 month old DS and am already thinking about having another (!) but not just yet! I'm 34 and don't want to wait too long because of my age.

What age gaps are there between your kids? And how have you found it in terms of both how your kids get along and your recovery/tiredness levels?

Dd1 was 4.1 years when dd2 was born. I found it fairly easy, both good sleepers and dd1 adores her little sister, she is so good with her, patient, understanding and will help me with everything. She still gets her one to one time with me and they are now 5 and 13 months. Dd2 has started walking and they play together nicely.

For now anyway Wink

25 months between my DSs - it's been great, tough sometimes but great. I never used a double buggy but the hardest part at the start was two in nappies but DS1 soon got fed up too and potty trained himself really in by 27months!

I would definitely recommend but I think for a 3rd I may have a longer gap (so that I can enjoy DS2 once DS1 starts school
