what is the best age differnce for children??

I reckon if you want them close, start now. It will be 9 months from now till the baby is born, so your son will be about 20 mnths old. If you dont mind having two babies, then itll be fine, as the older one will forget what it was like before the new baby, and will easily adapt to its presence and that he will have to share a lot with it. If he's any older, he will remember when he mum and dad all to himself, and it was all about him, no crying, time consuming baby and that, so he will act jealous and act out badly for your attention.

I know heaps of kids who are that close in age, and they are really close and have been since the younger one was born. So i think that that age difference is good if you dont mind having 2 kids in nappies. Haha. Good luck!

There are its Pros and Cons to having kids close in age.

My kids are aged 15, 3, 21 months, 4 months, and another on the way. The last two were surprises.

So They are 12 years - because of step.

15 months, 17 months, and will be 15 months again. I believe that's right =)

So its Pros= My kids are very close and my 3 y/o and 21 month old love each other so much are get along with each other so well. (at least most of the time)

It's Cons = sometimes I wish I had waited a little longer so I could watch one baby grow more and then have another.

I can't really thing of anything else.

Well Good Luck and God Bless.

3 years

One of my sisters and I are 10 months apart (no joke), but I am closer to the one that is 4 years younger. There doesn't seem to be any "ideal" spacing of children to make them playmates that get along. It's how they're raised and their personalities that do it. Anyway, who says your next child we be the same sex? Maybe it will be the opposite and the two will never have played with each other, no matter what you planned.

My 1st and 2nd are 21 minutes apart, and my 2nd and 3rd are 10 years apart, and both age spreads have their advantages.

Seriously, to answer your question, don't plan age spans with friendship between sibs given too much weight, since they'll fight no matter the ages. It will be easier on you if #1 is out of diapers and able to fend for himself a bit before you saddle yourself with #2. If you've been preventing conception, you should probably start trying now, since it usually takes a while if you've been on contraceptives.

when he will turn 3 in about 9 months get pregnet that way when they are in school they wont be together in the same schools less iritations for the whole family plus your first son can help teach is sibling what to do and help him with homework and stuff trust me works out great my kids are 13 11 and 5

Honestly... I always wanted my kids two years apart but my daughter is 17 months already so that wont happen lol and we're not ready. But all of my friends with siblings close in age are always very close... sometiems not but most of the time they are

My sis and I are 3 years apart and we are best friends. My boys are 4 years apart and they get along fine for now - they are still young though. We never planned either of them. Plus it depends on you and how ready you are to have another one.

Just because they'll be close in age doesnt mean they will be close, me and my brother is a yr. and 5 months apart and we fight constantly and he never really looked out for me.. so age difference has nothing to do with it..

my first brother and i are 15 months apart. we have our usual fights,but have alot more in common than my second&third brothers who are 11 and 10 years younger than me. With my 1st brother we were siblings, w/ my 2nd & 3rd brothers i was their mom. it just depends on what relationship you want your kids to have.
