question

my husband and i have a 10 month old. she wll be 1 years old june 20th. he want's to start trying for another one when she's 13 months old. 21-22 months apart? is it a good thing to have less years between them?

depends on the person. ppl might think they are twins casue they are so close. its up to the individual family if its a good thing or not

it isn't necessarily bad OR good.

Depends on the kids.

Having two in diapers isn't such a fun thing though.

Its all personal preferance mama! Do whats good for your family.

ok thanks ladies for the advice!!! it's a big help

There's 15 months between my oldest two, it worked well for us!
There's 7 years between Tristian and Aimée and almost 6 years between the girls. It's good too, but different having older kids and a baby. I wouldn't change it for the world, but personaly I found it to be easier with them being closer together just for the fact that I wasn't running around from sport to sport with a new baby.

i think its fine...me and my sis are 2 and a half years apart and we wre best friends growing up

that's true i don't really want to be running around with a newborn b/c i want chloe to at least try t-ball!!!

MY guys are less than a year apart, and it's worked out great! The even potty trained together! They have a buddy to play with and they share the same toys and interests (and clothes, lol).

My will be about 16 months apart and we planned it that way.

Well look at it this way, 22 months is only two months shy of two years. So really they will be almost two years apart. In my opinion that isn't a bad thing. Like everybody said though it's up to the individual family. My son will be 10 months next month and we are already ttc another bundle. Good luck with whatever you decide.

My boys are 22 months apart and I think its just right. The older one is old enough to be a bit of a help to me and to understand what he can and can't do with the baby but still young enough that I didn't deal with any jealousy that might have come with an older child.

Ya it was much easier when the older two were younger.
Now I'm taking Aimée to Tristian's hockey 3 times a week, Taelor's skating twice a week and Ballet once a week, then to both the kids swimming lessons once a week.

we waited until elliot was 2 1/2 to start trying. having a 3yo and a nb is hard enough, i can't imagine having two smaller children. I know it's been done but, i wouldn't do it.

My son is 5.5 months old and I am pregnant with our second baby, they will be 14months apart when my next baby is born.
