[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would start trying in about six months. You want to wait til your body is semi healed, but not so long that you lose that postpartum hormone-induced strong desire for more kids. Also, anecdotaly, I feel like it's easier to conceive when the tubes have recently been greased, so to speak. I had my first two about two years apart, no trouble whatsoever, but I waited to try til my second (middle) was 2.5, and had some trouble.

Also, two years apart is a dream for siblings! They are so close, and it honestly wasn't that hard. I think age 3 is a much tougher age to have a newborn with than a 2 year old. At three they're going through tons of transitions that are hard (dropping nap, big kid bed, maybe dropping paci, potty training, tantrums and vocal). But at 2 they are still babyish but big enough to sleep totally through the night, take great naps, etc. [/quote]

2 years apart is not a dream. It’s hard on the mom and too much competitiveness between siblings.[/quote]
