kids 18 months apart

DH wants us to start TTC when DS is 9 months old, he originally wanted to wait till he was a year now it is 9 months, which is what i originally wanted.

so my question is, how was it with a 1 and a half year old and a newborn?

I'll soon find out! Let you know, lol.

Its do able. Let the toddlere help alot and its not bad.. Dont leave them out

It sucked

Jade was 1 when I got preg with maks, and I can't remember her from ages 1-2. Now maks is 1, and I feel like I missed all the stutff he's doing now, with Jade and makes me feel lke an ass....

My DD2 is 9 days old and DD1 is 17 months old(will be 18 on the 3rd of dec) It's kinda hard, but manageable. Especially if you have a helpful supportive DH. DD1 is very helpful & LOVES her baby sister. I make sure that whenever I set DD2 down, I give my big girl some lovin so she doesn't feel left out

Mine are 14 months apart and I love them being so close. They are now 4 and 5 and the first 2 years was so hectic, especially being a single parent. I wasn't able to breastfeed my son as long as I wanted to (about a month) because it was wayyy to hard when he wanted to nurse constantly and my daughter was newly mobile. She didn't walk until 13 1/2 months. But now that they are older I love it. I'm able to let them play together in their room and not worry. They are best friends.

It's not to bad, I agree let the toddler help with anything they can. My newborn at the time was a difficult baby but I still managed to get through it and now the are like each others best friend  

My boys are 17 months apart and I think its super easy. It has its moments but parenting in general does. And its cheaper as far as clothes goes if they are the same gender. I love them being so close together  

my girls are 14 months apart, the closest age gap of my kids. in the moment I thought I was gonna go crazy.. it was like having twins (or what I would imagine twins would feel like) they were both in diapers, both very dependent on me. with my others, I would have the older ones potty trained before the next came along.. but not this time. 2 in diapers was hard financially. but as far as their relationships.. they are so close. my boys are close, and my girls are close. it's like having a built-in best friend.

my thing is me and my sister are 18 months apart and we ALWAYS had someone to play with when we were little and i want my kids to have that same thing.

it was hard at first, with the jealousy issues but now that they are older they are best friends.. they love to do everything together

I have 3 year old and 17 month old twins lol my dd was not even 2 when the boys were born but I mean it's not a cake walk obviously lol but it's not so bad. We had dd help with things like getting a diaper or helping give bottles or just whatever she could, she loved it!

My girls are 18 moths and 6 days apart. It was nowhere near as hard as I thought it would be. And now at 4 and almost 3 they are the best of friends

Quoting Brantley's mama 8-24-12:" DH wants us to start TTC when DS is 9 months old, he originally wanted to wait till he was a year now ... [snip!] ... it is 9 months, which is what i originally wanted. so my question is, how was it with a 1 and a half year old and a newborn?"

my two sons are 15 months apart and im pregnant again its hard but its not what people make it out to be let you lo help you with the baby as much as possible that way your lo dont get jealous

i have a 4 month old son and a 21 month old nephew, and it is NOT easy.
yes, i know that babysitting is not the same as having your own child, but i take my nephew to day care every morning and getting two little ones dressed and fed and ready to go, then taking them on the bus to day care is not an easy task lol and when i pick him up and bring him home its even worse because in the afternoons he has so much energy and its hard to keep him calm enough to also take care of my son lol.

not to mention my nephew LOVES my son, which is good obviously but trying to keep him off my son is frustrating. he loves him so much he wants to be near him all the time, but my son is too small to play the way my nephew tries to and he usually ends up laying on top of him or pushing on him when he stands up or something because he doesnt understand that my son is too little and that it hurts him.

its definitely not easy to have two little ones, im just glad i dont have to do it 24/7 lol the few hours a day i have the two of them is enough for me xD
