Forum - Do you have a baby or toddler from newborn to 5 years? Have some questions, experiences & tips to share with other Mums? Come & chat in our baby & toddler club! This thread is called '
There is four and a half years between my two. I wanted DS to be settled in scholl and not feel that he has to make way for the baby. I also wanted to have the special time at home with Frankie while she is small without making Jonny jealous. Jonny also understood alot of waht was going on whilst I was pregnant. The gap worked well for us but I think it's different for different people.
my age gaps werent planned either but theri is just 1 month under 4 years between adele and colby its a good age but adele gets to bored of colby and plays up alot for attention when i feeding her ect
There will be 15 months between my two. I got pregnant when Ella was around 6 months old and really struggled for the first few months as she became A LOT more demanding. I don't know if it was just her, but she was a lot easier when she was a newborn/few months old. I doubted whether I'd done the right thing by having two close together. For instance I just spent all afternoon round my mums til Matt came home so someone else could help out. I don't know how the first few months will be after the baby arrives - Ella's not the most laid back toddler! But I'll cope, you just do. I'm not saying that I'm not looking forward to having another (I really am!!) but just warning you that it's not just the time when they're both here that you might find difficult, also the pregnancy can be quite hard going (I didn't get SPD the first time round but have just started getting it for instance).
I have 7 years would have been sooner but too personal to go into here (sorry ) I am glad of the gap I have though,I think there are fors and against of anything.
This is my last baby however so there will be no closer gaps in fact going to ask for sterlisation after this baby.
Cant wait til my babe is here tho and on the plus Chloe is old enough to do the night feeds,I'M JOKING>>>>>>>>>lol
No she will like to help I reckon for all of a day.
mine are a year and 6 days paart, its kinda hard sometimes, lucky tho tommy has been a big help. the days i have had them by myself tho its been fairly easy, although i think thats because alexis plays really well on her own...so i duno ... it worked out well for me tho,but i'm never having more lol
But we're already trying again for another!!
