I have 14 months, 3.5 years and 2.5 years. 14 months is my favourite gap!

Love our 4 year age gap, so 1st child out of nappies & likes to help.

Yes 3 year is a good and ideal gap

I had 18 month nd it was hard at first but now it’s alot better

In the long run, having them closer is better

ive got 2 and 3/4 and its pretty good. id prob say 2.5 yrs to 3.5 yrs

my daughters are 4 and 20 months old. I love the age gap between them. They play nicely together now and I can see how they will be best friends as they get older and look after each other.

My children are 3 years apart and I think it was a good gap for me as it gave me time with both alone while they were babies. I also loved that I didn’t have 2 in nappies at the same time or 2 needing bottles at the same time.

No one can really answer this but you, there are a pros and cons to small and large age gaps.

I feel 2-3 years is a good gap but it is a person choice really

I have just shy of 19 months difference between my two and its been great so far.

I found a 2 year gap good – that way they can grow up being reasonably close.

I think it depends on the individual and what you think you can cope with.

What gap did you decide?

I have 13 years but I don’t recommend it. And would you believe they still fight. But miss two wins and miss 15 yells out for help thy her sister is hurting her.

Great gap! But in saying that my sis and I are bout 6 apart n we are really close!

When you get older its nice when you have sisters,brothers close to your age. I think 2 year gap is good.

Agree with sallty, I’ve seen families with kids close together and families with kids far apart and they all seem to work well. I had mine close together (23 months) because I wanted to get all the nappies, toilet training, etc over in one hit. They fight a lot and can really test my patience but I wouldn’t have it any other way. It really is a personal choice.

Close together is a good idea

closer together is great so they are interested in the same sort of games, but there are pros and cons for every age gap
