Anybody have their babies 18 months apart?

I have 2 boys, my oldest just turned 2, two weeks ago and my youngest is 4 months. They are 20 months apart.(not 18 months but close enough haha). I think its a good age gap, because being that young they forget very quickly that they were ever an "only" child. So if they are even a tad bit jealous it will blow over fast.

My oldest loves HIS baby brother and helps me out alot. He likes to hold the baby and help feed the baby and throw away diapers and bring me diapers. He loves helping his me out with the baby. He likes to tickle and try and play with the baby. But really my 2 year old is still mostly doing his own thing just playing with his toys and doesnt even really care the baby is there all the time but when he does care he really cares and wants to do everything with the baby!

They both have there needy times and want to be cuddled by mama but i wouldnt say my oldest is jealous at all. My boys have such a great bond already, its amazing. i cant wait til the baby is a little older so they can really start playing together. My youngest has an instant smile across his face the second he sees his big brother. I LOVE it. I love how close they are in age and i wouldnt change it for the world. Yes it becomes a handful at times but you make it through it and the bond the siblings grow to have makes it all worth it.

Babies 18 Months

My first 2 were 17 months apart. I had my first in jan 2002, i was 17. And my 2nd in May 2003 I was 18. My oldest loved to try to play little mommy even at that age. It was hard, at times, But not that much more work. You bathe 1 you bathe both, feed one feed both and so on and so forth. We didn't expect to get pregnant with our 2nd so quick but we did. Now they are 7 and 9 and in 2 and 3rd grade. I am very happy they were born so close together. I've said that they couldn't be any closer if they were twins. We recently had our 3rd,so it's kinda like starting over, But they are both great wanting to help out with him. There has been a little, well not jealousy,with my son,but just him noticing he isn't getting as much attention. Which I guess is understandable since he has been the baby for nearly 8 years.But it's definitely something we didn't go through last time around because Lilli didn't have a chance to remember being the only child. I'd definitely recommend having them that close together. It doesn't get real rough until the 2nd child starts walking then they're real fun to try to keep up with!!LOL

I'm due with my first baby in 8 weeks but my brother and I were 21 months apart and it was great. It was so nice to be close in age to my sibling, we had a lot more in common and since we were closer together, we enjoyed the same kinds of activities growing up and had, I think, a closer bond than children who are several years or more apart.

I think it will be fun to have children close together in age, my husband and I plan on having our second within about 2 years of each other. Good luck!

I can't help much from a parents point of view, but my younger brother, sister, and I are all exactly 18 months apart from one another, which makes us two school grades apart. I think its a perfect age gap! Not too close together where you're always fighting, but not too far apart to where you still enjoy spending time together.

My daughters ar 18 mos apart. they're one grade apart, they're the best friends always want to do things together, which can be bad, but is also god because they have each other. Alls good
