How much of an age gap?

What does everyone think is the best age gap between kids?

Im getting broody but my bub is only 16months…ais it to soon? I see other mums at daycare on their 2nd and their kids are around the same age as my son.

My partner thinks we should start trying again after we get residency in June. But am I ready? We have no family so its quite hard with one. It would mean me giving up work as its too expensive to put 2 in daycare.

But even though i couldnt wait for it to be over the last time (in a good way, i just wanted to hold my baby) I miss it soo much now!! Wouldnt it be great if you could have a baby that stayed at that really cuudly baby stage forever….but then you’d miss alll the other joys the bring….ya jus cant pleez me!!!

    I have 4,5 years between my girls, and I think it is a trifle too much as I have forgotten what caring for a new born feels like…

    Oh yes that sounds like a fantastic age gap, two children under 2 has been full on for me, and I guess it will be so for at least another 12-24 months, lol.

    I have two children – 6yo and a 4mth old. I didn`t even think of having another one until my first one was 4yrs old. we spent so much time and attention with him. Now having another one my 6yo helps out, doesn`t need much attention and we can afford everything for them. I think it is a personal choice. I wouldn`t have been able to handle 2 children under the age of 3 or 4. but thats just me.
