3yr age gaps
in Baby
Hi ladies
My little girl is 14 months and my hubby thinks we should start trying to conceive baby no. 2 after xmas. I'm not sure as I've really struggled to cope with my little girl and still find most days difficult. It just seems that from the moment she wakes up to going to bed she cries. Anyway I would like another as I don't want her to be an only child but ideally would want a 3year or bigger age gap. My worry is that if I went for a larger age gap the children wouldn't grow up close. So my question is for those of you who have a 3yr or more age gap are your children close. (Sorry for going on)
Thanks
Danielle

I am in exactly the same situation! My lo is also 14 months and dh wants to try in the new year.
My reason is that i want to keep my baby, my baby for as long as possible if you know what I mean.
Admittedly thought the older she gets the better she gets and I can't imagine going through it all again just yet!
Saying that, there is 2 years and nine months between me and my sister and we were always great play mates growing up. Don't get me wrong, we also fought like cat and dog (not physically!) but we are very close now.

i think there are positives and negatives to all age gaps but its what works best for u as a family. xxx
