moms of 3..how far apart are your kids?

JonathansMommy · March 2011

i have 2 kids and they are 2.5 yrs apart. I'm planning on having a 3rd but might wait another year when my youngest is a little older.

I have 19 mo and 21 mo gaps. Perfect, IMO/for us.

Mine should each be about 2.5 years apart.

13.5 months and 33 months

21 months between #1 and #2; 27 months between #2 and #3. Honestly, the closer gap was easier, but I think it's more due to personalities than spacing.

23 months and 18 months.

1-2 = 25 months

2-3= 27.5 months

Mine are 20 months and 18 months apart. If I had to do it over, I would have waited until my DD2 was at least 2 before getting pregnant with #3.

1-2 are 16 mos. apart. 2-3 are 26mos. apart. Imo, it was easier going from 2-3. The age gap was easier.

27.5 mo--at the time I wanted much closer. Then 29mo & wanted further apart. I do not recommend having kids 2.5yrs apart. It was really hard especially the first yr of having 3. I'll qualify that mine have either been colicky or horrible sleepers which makes things harder I think.

My girls are 20 months apart and then DD#2 to DS is 24 months, but it feels like a huge difference. My girls are really really close - partly because they share a room and are the same gender, but either way, DD#2 "grew up" faster to be like DD#1. DS is the baby in every sense of the word and knows it. Anyway, the age difference feels huge sometimes, but it's getting smaller now that all three can play together.

FWIW - I love the age difference and that they'll all grow up "together" and play together and everything. All three will be 2 years apart in school so they should be able to have their space and everything there while still having similar interests and abilities...

Umm does it count that 2/3 of mine came as a pair? lol

L was 1yr 11 days old when the girls were born. It was C.R.A.Z.Y. for the first few months while we got the girls on a schedule. But by 6 months things had settled down quite a bit and going pretty good.

I used to want 4yrs between kids. Im glad it didnt work out that way. I LOVE how close they are.

DS#1 and DS#2 = 23 months

DS#2 and DD = will be 15 months

mamarazzi · March 2011

DS1 and DS2 are 23 months apart. DS2 and DD are 25 months apart.

I really like the two-year spacing. Actually, I wouldn't want them any further apart and I kind-of wish they were a little closer.

DS #1 and #2 are 18 months apart, and DS #2 and DD will be 30 months apart. Since #3 is not here yet I can't truly know how it will be, but I'm hoping and praying the larger age gap is going to be easier than the smaller was!! NOW I love how close in age the boys are, but it was super-hard on me in the beginning. My hope this time around is that the boys will entertain each other largely and be sort of a "unit" while I care for baby (so hoping it just feels like the "boys" and the "baby" vs. contending with three separate levels constantly).

DD#1 and DD#2 our 2 years and 8months apart. DD#2 and DC#3 are 12 months 4 days apart.
