[quote=Anonymous]TBH I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say they wish they had done spacing differently; most of our friends with 2 kids spaced 3-4yrs apart. Those with more than 2 tended to do 2-3 yr spacing. My first 2 are about 2 years apart, then the 3rd is 3 yr spacing. TBH I prefer the 2 year gap. It can be difficult because they both need individual one on one time, but they are able to do the same types of activities and we’re both little together; the 3 yr gap between my 2nd and 3rd seems much bigger - definitely more of a baby and big kid distinction, which my 2nd didn’t have. I have also heard that if you want kids to be close (in childhood) don’t go further apart than 4 years, which I believe. My brother and I were 4 years apart but 5 years apart in school and while we played a bit while we we were younger, we were in much different stages as we got older and were not as close (though we are now as adults). But based on observation of our kids and friends’ kids, I also think it depends on whether you have same or different gender, which you typically can’t control, so just do what works for you!
