DC1 is 7 weeks old.

How long is medically necessary or ideal before trying again?

My Midwife says 1 year because I had a third degree tear during the pushing stage. Is that true?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

'Well the advice I've been given by multiple health professionals is to leave a sleeping baby and let them sleep, unless they are underweight/poorly.'

Yes in the UK the advice is to not leave more than 5-6 hours without feeding during the first 2 weeks no matter what the weight. After 2 weeks they say to feed on demand providing baby is gained weight well.

mogulfield but isn't it a good thing you didn't just do it? You said now you have an 18 month old its so much harder, well imagine having second on top of that. How would that be better?
