how old should you be have another baby?

Question

my baby is 3 week how old should she be to have another baby my mom say at a good age is 1 or 2 so they wont be to far from there age apart.

Answer 1

That's not a very good idea! Having a baby is a very hard responsibility! What more if its two?

CLICK IT DOWN!!!

Answer 2

That is not enough space between the babies. First of all your body would just be getting back into normal physcial condition. Second of all, it is so demanding physically and mentally having 2 babies on the bottle, in diapers, screaming and crying, depending on you for every little thing that babies have their mom do for them. You would like to enjoy your baby as long as you can. Being exhausted all the time, it is impossible to do. Get pregnant when the baby is 2 and by the time the baby is born she would be out of diapers, off the bottle, and off to a good headstart to helping mommie with the new baby.

Answer 3

First give your body sometime to heal. Childbirth is very emotionally and physically draining. Your on a high at the moment which is great, and shows your combating, or never had the baby blues. So enjoy your little girl, regroup, with a good diet and exercise, then on her first birthday, go to town with hubby and have fun trying again. By then you will have a good indication, weather or not you are ready for baby #2.

Answer 4

2-3 years apart

Answer 5

Wait until your three week old is at least one year old to give your body a chance to heal properly, and your baby a change to be a baby with all of your care. Right now you are probably feeling very maternal and want another baby and a sibling, but trust me they all need that one on one mommy time with you.

Answer 6

They say that you should wait at least 18-24 months in order for your body to balance out and get itself back together. Your hormones go crazy and have to get back in a normal state. They say not to wait more then 5 years, but that is only for raising them not because of the risk to your health. Just remember kids are great but do you want to be potty training while you are changing diapers, or trying to carry 2 car seats because neither one is ready to walk to the car on their own. I would wait until your baby is able to be more independent..

Answer 7

my doctor suggested I wait two years after having one before becoming pregnant with another so my body can replenish its storage of iron etc.

As a result, my first two girls are 3 years and 10 days apart. It seems perfect for our family. They are still close in age but the first was potty trained before the second came!

I'm now on my third pregnancy and this baby will be approx. 2 years and 9 months younger than my second child.

Answer 8

My children are 6 1/2 years apart and I love it. I don't know that theres a good age, just when you feel right about it. My son is 9 and my daughter is 2 and they are so close. My son loves her so much and theres never been any jealousy.

Answer 9

It is up to the parent. My mom had us 17 months apart.. personally I like to have time to enjoy the baby stage and give each child as much one on one time before I have anohter... but it is really personal preference

Answer 10

It's all going to depend on how active your little girl is going to be when she is a little older, that's when you will be able to see if you can handle having them close together. My daughter was 21 months when I had my son(last July) and it's just fine for me, My daughter really enjoys playing with her brother, being a "little Mom", I like seeing how much my son likes her too and how he looks all over when he hears her voice. Follow your heart... and listening to your Mom's opinion doesn't hurt right?

Answer 11

ages 2 to 4. Good separation, not right on top of each other, one may well be potty trained and a bit more independent when you have the next.
