There is 2 years 10 months between my boys and I like the age difference. I am going to plan the same for next time too.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

There's 13 months between my girls and it's hard work - made worse by the fact that Emma has reflux.
I think (hope) things will be easier later on though ie dropping them at daycare/school together for most of the time. I also hope they'll be really good friends as they'll be so close in age.

I have 15 months between my two (supposed to be 18months) and I find it hard, especially now they are at a age where there personality's clash and are forever fighting

If we TTC successfully this month and all goes well, there'll be about 22 months between my two. I hope that'll work out ok!

well lets see, if DF and i succeed in TTC in the next couple of months, Caitlyn will be six.
Bigger age gap than i wanted but hey, thats how it worked out .

I think i'll like this age gap tho , she loves babies and knows how to hold them etc, and can understand if i cant give her all my time,and better yet, she'll be at school all day ,score !

We have 13 1/2 mths between our two babies. We were worried about such a small gap in the beginning - but now, we couldn't imagine it any other way! It is certainly very busy and a little stressful at times - but it is all worth it. They may as well be twins - considering I've got two in nappies and cots etc.

I do get quite annoyed with people at the moment when they joke about how busy I'd be at home when they hear about the age gap between Georgia and Matilda. I feel like saying to people "Don't you think I know that!!"

Yes people, even perfect strangers, can say the stupidest and/or rudest things sometimes. It seems that you having a baby means that everyone has a license to say anything they like about your children or your parenting skills. It really annoys me
