I have a 6 month old baby and two children who are slightly older. I had my older children a year apart. They are very close in age and also best friends. I want my 6 month old baby to have the same type of relationship as my older two children have. Is it too soon to try for a fourth child so that my baby can have a close bond with her younger brother/sister? I desperately want another child and so does my husband, but is it too soon to start trying again?

No.... go for it if you both want more.
I am the oldest of three with four years between my sister and I and six years between my brother and I. There was always sibling rivalry between my sister and I. Not to mention, someone usually gets left out.
If having your first two close together worked... I'd try it again.

why would you want another child so soon give the baby time to be a baby before having another the baby should get your full attention (along with your other 2 children ofcourse)wait until she / he starts nursery then the new baby will get a lot of one on one time with yourself
think about your other children i find it hard to have quality time alone with my four year old (which really upsets me)as i also have a 18 month old who is so curious about everything and needs constant supervision
good luck with your decision

I don't think it is too soon, if you want children that close together. In my experience, my sisters and I (there are 4 of us) were all born 2 years apart. We are all really close; the oldest is just as close to the youngest as she is to me, who came right after her. Good luck!

I have heard its best to wait a year after delivery so your body has time to heal, but the best thing to do would be to talk to your Dr. Get a checkup and if you are healthy and everything looks good, i dont think it would be bad to start trying. Also it may take a few months once you do start trying, so you can use that to go by as well. Good luck to ya!

Sure if you can afford it then go for it. Its always great to have children close together. They will be so much closer when they get older. If you and hubby agree then go for it, there is nothing in this world better than a close family. Congrats

Nope. Anytime YOU and HUBBY are ready is good. They say to give 18 months between births to allow your body to heal but if your ready go for it. I think kids close together is awesome. Good luck and Happy Trying!!!
