How close in age are your children

[newmumma32]

If you have more than one child, how close in age are they? Me and DH have been talking about trying for another in the future, we have a 6 month old. We're not trying at the moment yet we haven't been that careful either as if it happens it happens, we struggled to conceive our LO so another child would be so lovely whatever the age gap

Aww it's so nice to have so many replies, thank you!

Blimey @MrsTartanTeacosy they must all keep you busy!

5 years. They got on well at first but now spend most of their time arguing. I think that would happen with any age gap though.

16 months between 1 and 2
17 months between 2 and 3

We had three under three with zero family support. It was fine, I quit my job to look after them though and I know that not everyone has that option.

12.5 months between my two....now 18 & 17yrs old! I survived....just!

3y10m. Wanted a smaller gap but fertility issues and tfmr meant a bigger gap than we'd have liked. Luckily dc2 seems to be a bit ahead (and physically bigger) than average, and dc1 is a little immature, so they can still enjoy a lot of the same things, and they look closer in age than they are. I liked stretching out the baby/toddler years though as I enjoy all the under 5s type activities and liked doing one to one stuff with dc2 when dc1 was in nursery/school.

20 months between them

2.5yrs between 1&2
15yrs between 2&3
3.5yrs between 3&4

18 months between 1 and 2
15 months between 2 and 3 and 4
6 minutes between 3 and 4
19 months between 3/4 and 5 but 5 is my brothers who I took in at 6 months old

Two and a half years.

The absolute minimum age gap I wanted it to be. Expected TTC to take longer as I have fertility issues, but baby rabies and a small miracle happened instead. We're done at two, but if I were to have another, I would absolutely aim for 3 years old at a minimum.

20 months between 1st and 2nd, 3 years between 2nd and twins, 8 year’s between twins and 6month old xx

15 months
hard to begin with but best decision ever

22 months
