[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I have boy that turns 1 this month. We want one more but not sure what is the best age gap. We are discussing whether we should start now and have them with a 2 year age gap, or wait until he is two and have them have a 3 year age gap. [b]I’ve heard some like close in age, and other have recommended a large age gap. [/b]Which do you prefer and why? [/quote]

Neither 2 or 3 years is considered a "larger age gap" in my mind, so it's kind of quibbling on the details to me. I think the advice to start trying with the smallest age gap that would be acceptable to you if you were to become pregnant immediately made by the PP makes sense, but without knowing your age and fertility history it is really impossible to say. You can research this if you are into data, but from everything I have read 2 vs 3 years basically makes no difference. Most studies are looking at 4/5/6/7 plus in how that impacts childhood relationships and family dynamics.[/quote]
