Deciding When to Have Baby #2: What Factors Did You Consider?

Hi folks…My baby just turned four months old, and we’re starting to think about when to have a second child. We’re debating whether to go for two under two or wait a few years until our baby is a bit older. I’m unsure if having them close in age or spacing them out would be better for our family dynamics.

How did you guys decide on when to have your second child? What factors, pros, and cons did you weigh in making the decision? Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated…Thanks

I have a brother who is 9 years older than me and we’ve always had a strong bond. When I was a kid, he was my ultimate role model. I can honestly say that we never had any disagreements. As adults, we have developed a strong friendship and frequently spend time together playing board games. It’s interesting to see how age differences can actually strengthen relationships.
