I think it just depends on the couple. There`s no set `right` amount of time that applies for everyone. We wanted ours to be 18 months or less apart, but that didn`t work out so now we`re shooting for 2 years...

When I have this baby my dd will be 18 months old. I wanted them no more than 2 yrs apart because I have one sis and she is 5 yrs older than me and it was like I didn`t even have a sibling until I was about 15 and then we kkkkinda started becoming friends. I want my children to go thru the same (for the most part) stages together, be there for each other and hopefully be friends. My husband has 3 sister, all very close in age and they are SUPER close. I`m hoping for that.

two years or less. All of my brothers and sisters are two years apart. We get alone fantastically and I loved being close in age!

Well I was well advised by my OB that idealy they`d like to see people wait 1-2 years inbetween pregnancies (for me it`s recommended 2 years because I had twins). Not that that had a lot to do with my decision making, but it`s something to be considered. I plan on TTC next August/September (2010), because I`d like to have a late spring/early summer baby. My twins will be almost 2 1/2 at that point (when the `new baby` will be born). My rule is that they have to be out of diapers and in toddler beds before anymore babies come! I will also have my accredidation to teach as a college professor at that point, and will have the entire summer off to get things acquainted :o)

My son was 1 on the 17th... I`m having another baby around Aug. 10th... I want them VERY close. :)

We are trying in Feb of next year...so my son will be 2.5 yrs old....

rachy2606 (156.2 days ago)
To be honest, we are going to start trying again once Jake is 2 years old, so hopefully by the time ive conceived and gone through pregnancy, there should be a 3 year gap..But like angie2008 says, alot of the time the answer may be 2 years, and I was going to originally put tnat x

I plan on waiting 3 years after my son is born to have another baby. I want to enjoy my son & the first 2 years are supposed to be a baby`s greatest learning years & i want to make sure he gets all of my attention in those years & if i wait till he`s 3-4 he would be in preschool & potty trained & everything & i would be able to give my 2nd child the same attention it needs to flourish!

Ideally, I would say 3 years. However, mine are going to be exactly one year apart. My due date is my daughter Olivia`s birthday.

cat77 (156.6 days ago)
I think it depends on what type of person you are. I personally wanted to wait and enjoy my first fully and then when he was more independent and going to school I started trying again. I`m glad that when our second one comes along my son will be in school full time and I`ll be able to focus all my attention on the baby during the day.

i started ttc when each of mine were about 12 months. they are 15,13,11,and 9. it is very easy for me to get pregnant, so it always happened w/in 2 months. i love how close in age they all are.

sweetbabyboy (156.6 days ago)
We started TTC when my son was 12 months old, and my second son was born when he was 22 months, its busy thats all I can say lol!! we want a 3rd child but will wait until this last one is 2 before we start TTC.

RobinG (156.6 days ago)
My closest two are 4.5 years apart and I wouldnt have it any other way!! :) It is SO much easier when one is about to go to school when the 2nd comes along :)

amber325 (156.6 days ago)
I am going to TTC when Olivia is 15 months old she when I deliver she will be 2 2 1/2 and hopefully potty trained lol

angie2008 (156.6 days ago)
I`ve been asking this question as well and the general consensus from very differnt types of people say 2 years apart. That wasn`t an option.

canadababy (156.6 days ago)
We`re going to start trying again when our LO is 5months :) In Canada we get a yr off work (I`m off until Jan2010) and I have to go back for 4months to get that yr off again (until May2010)...so we`re trying to time it that my new Maternity Leave will begin when I done my 4months back at work. Hoping for a June-ish baby. We always wanted them close together anyway, we`re both not getting any younger and feel they`ll be really close friends being closer in age.
