Common Questions
- What is the ideal age gap between siblings?
- Research from the WHO and JAMA suggests a gap of 18-24 months between pregnancies (2.5-3 years between births) is optimal for maternal health. Shorter gaps increase risks of preterm birth. However, the 'best' gap depends on your family's financial readiness, support system, and personal preferences.
- Is a 2-year age gap too close?
- A 2-year gap is one of the most common and can work well. Benefits include shared play interests and getting the baby phase done sooner. Challenges include having two in diapers and the older child's developmental need for attention during the toddler years. Many parents find it intense but rewarding.
