Does Anyone Have Children About a Year and a Half Apart?

Question

Would you recommend it?

My biggest concern is that it takes away from the older child and the needs she may still have at that age. What has been your experience?

Thank you.

Answer 1

My oldest two are 16 months apart,and it never took away from the older one.  They we're very close growing up,even after all their brothers and sisters arrived. They are very  close still ,at 32 & almost 31 years old.

Answer 2

Most of my kids are about a 18 months apart. It was sometimes rough having two(or three) in diapers at one time. But they're all really close and play great together.

In my situation it worked great. I know others whose first child was so jealous they injured the new baby. It really depends on the person and if they can handle it.

Answer 3
