I think you should have then more than 3 years apart for the following reasons. 1. It will be easier on you.. so close in age is really hard. 2. they wont be fighting over the same stuff like clothes ect... different ages mean different interests. 3. I think you would have more time to teach your children when one of them is old enough to dress themselves ect.

I`d say that 18mo-2yrs is a good age range. I have a daughter who`s almost 19 months and another baby due 10/20. I always thought that I would have my kids 2-3 years apart, but I`m glad that I didn`t do that. I`d like to have at least 3 kids and I would love to have them when I`m young. I guess everyone is different...so you have to decide what is right for you.

You should have the first child potty trained and they should be able to understand why alot of your attention has to go towards the baby. Also it gives your body more time to recover. I think 2 to 3 years is a good enough space.

My sister and I are 17 months apart and she is my most favorite person in the world too. She`s my permanent best friend. But I have a brother who is 6 years older than me and growing up we weren`t real close but now it`s like we`re all the same age. My daughter will be 4 years older than this baby and I kinda like it that way because each will go through high school on their own and have their own time for things like that without having to share.

My sister and I are 13 months apart. It`s like having a perminant best friend, even though we`re nothing alike. She`s my favorite person ever. But don`t have babies too close together. It can be hard on you. I`d say finnish breastfeeding first, and make time for yourself before you get preggers again. My friend is only 8 months older that her brother. Her mother bottle fed which caused her ovulation to return, and her brother was born prematurely. Crazy!

It takes your body 1 year to recover, for most women anyway. I would say 18-2 yrs because I think 3 years might be to far a part. Thats just personally, you should get pregnant when it feels right. Just for me I picture milestones and how far off theyll be from each other....for instance Im starting to feel a little bad over the fact that my first son will be almost 4 when my third is born, this means theyll be 6 and 2, 10 and 6, 16 and 12, its got me feelin bad that they might not be very close to each other...what does a 12 yr old and a 16 yr old have in common? Anyways good luck....anythings perfect...their children and you get to have them!! :)

because it takes 2-3 years for your body to recover from pregnancy.
