It's all up to you. Whatever you think you can handle. You might not be able to handle babies that close in age or you might not want a huge gap between them.But I'm pretty sure you should wait at least a year after having a baby before you decide to have another one because you need at least a year to heal. That is what my doctor told me anyway.

that's entirely up to the person having the kids. If you are someone that gets stressed out really easily, I recommend 4 or 5 years in between. Why deal with having 2 babies at once?
I had twins, and people give me the whole "OMG how did you cope with that?!" all the time. But seriously I think I had easier than these women I see with whiny, screaming toddlers that are too young to be reasoned with yet, and they have a newborn, or they're pregnant and exhausted! I can't imagine that!

My kids are 3 years apart. It worked out well as I did not have any in diapers or using bottles at the same time. They were far enough apart in age to have their own interests without hassling each other too much and now that they are older (the youngest is 16, the oldest 22) they are able to socialize and be friends.

there are not right or wrong ans here, it all depends on you and how you feel. min duration would be a year for most, well the max is up to you. a piece of advice, try not to let the gap between your child be too big, its tiring on you as you age

I think 2 years is a good age difference between siblings.

Two years, so your body can recover from one pregency and be healthly for the next pregnancy. Remember to take prenatal vitamins even while trying to get pregnant.
