| Hi,
I am a first time mother of a 5 months old baby. My husband & I are already thinking ahead of when to have our 2nd child (since I'm 34 already). We are just "thinking-out-loud" of maybe start trying when my baby boy turns 6 months old, so by the time the 2nd baby arrives, he'll be 1.5 yrs old. We would love to hear your advice/experience on: 1. What would be the Pros & Cons of the above scenario?
Your precious advice/experience will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Sincerely,
|

| I don't think there is an ideal gap. It's nice if the first one is out of diapers, but that just spreads out the diapering over a longer period of time, if that makes sense. If they are both very young, they will both still be napping, which is nice for you. However, I think all age gaps have their pros and cons, so whatever works for you is best. |
