@tini91 Thank you for weighing in - this is helpful!

@eliza16 Ooo I love this angle. I am considering 4 years as the upper limit of the gap I’d go for!

@artosgalleries Congrats!! Hope the newborn stage is treating you as well as possible 💜

@goldladyslipper Sooo true about gaining parenting wisdom with each additional kiddo + dad’s parental leave making a big impact. Thank you for sharing. I’m sending you all the strength, patience, and coffee for when the twins arrive!

@crustyfrog This is a good point. Despite my desire to control timing, the universe has its own plan for me - and all of us 💜

@roger1234 Thanks for sharing! We have 18 month gap between #1 and #2 but good to know the 2 year gap is easier! Keep us posted on how middle school goes 😬🤞🤞

@readwritedream Thank you for your super in depth response & insight! So helpful 🙏 Do you feel like the transition from 2-3 is harder than 0-1? Good point about talking to my provider — after switching around several times I’ve finally found one (she’s a midwife) that I actually like & trust

@hattington Wow we have almost identical journeys! I didn’t post too much info here (because I’m active in a different forum where people could identify me), but we have very similar stories for baby #1, baby #2, and age. Feel free to DM me if you want to keep in touch about how we navigate #3 :)

@lurya Thank you for sharing! I collated the responses here and - like you - it seems that 2.5-3 years is the ‘sweet spot’ age gap for bringing #3 into the family :) I agree - its so much easier to bring a newborn into the picture once the older kid(s) is sleeping through the night 😅

What is the age gap between your 2nd and 3rd child? Do you like your gap, or would you prefer something different? We currently have 2-under-2. I’m over 35 so have a bit of a time crunch when it comes to planning #3, but I’m not sure we can mentally or financially handle 3-under-3 😬 Please...
