When is a good time for baby number 2?

Question

my child is currently 10 months old, my husband wants baby number two. should i wait till my baby is older?

Answer 1

It's up to you because only you know if your ready for another child.

Answer 2

It's honestly up to you... I've heard good and bad things for close together or farther apart siblings. My husband and I have decided to have our son close to our daughter... they will be about 16 months apart. Some say it's easier when they are close together because they will grow up together and learn new things together. Some say it's easier to wait until they are 3 years apart because then then 1st one can help out with younger one. In all honesty it's up to you and what you think you can handle.

Answer 3

They recommend waiting at least 18 months between children to let your body recover.  It's up to you though.  I personally never wanted 2 children in diapers at the same time.  Plus, the longer you wait, the more you get to enjoy and watch your 1st grow up and learn new things.  It's neat!

Answer 4

its soon 2 years later u should try for another one

Answer 5

Our two kids are 22 1/2 months apart. It's a little tough right now. The baby is just two months. But, I'm glad we decided to go for it. This way the phase of our life when we're changing diapers and zombie-like from multiple late-night feedings will be over in a shorter amount of time. We also like the idea that they'll be very close to each other, so toys and activities that interest one will most likely interest the other as well. My sister and I are only 18 months apart and we've always been very close.

Answer 6

our first child is 51/2yrs now & we will start trying for another in about 6 months we have chosen this gap to have quality  time with both alone there was a 5yr gap between myself & my brother & 7yrs between myself & my sister we had a great time together growing up I loved being the BIG sister & they loved me spoiling them & playing with all the patience in the world.

We now have wonderful adult sibling relationships.

Hope this helps.

Answer 7

Its up to you and your circumstances but I am planning on trying for No 2 when my baby is about 2yrs old so he will be in nursery around the time No 2 would be due.....plus the age gap is still quite close together!

Answer 8

I think about a year is a good time. 10 months is close enough. Depends what you want. I waited 2 years before ttc number 2 but that is because my partner wasn't ready at 1 lol

I must say my daughter will be almost 3 when this baby is born, and I do think that will make it easier for me, she is great at following directions and is a sensitive and kind kid, she is going to be a good big sister and I don't think I will have too many problems with jealousy etc
