My son will be just over 2 and a half when baba arrives. He is potty training now though but may well still be new to it all still when baba comes - to me I prefer them close as once nappies are done they are done forever!!
I am 31 but have many medical issues and so needed to choose have another baba now or never! We wanted 2 always, so we tried for ages then with medical help we finally got preggies.
Although young my son still gets that a new baba is coming and he is being super helpful and very loving.
I think just as long as you make special time alone for each baba then they know they won't have to compete for you, then all should go ok.
It's not going to be easy in the beginning but yup you'll find a way to make things work for you and your family unit!

Good questions Mistymom - I'm eagerly awaiting the replies. I am in a similar position, add on a few months to lo's age and a few years to yours - for mine.

DH isn't sure he wants another, and I need help at home if we have another. Will need a live in nanny.

I have a 4 month old Lb,and I will be turning 36 next month. I would love to have another child and was wondering what the age gap is between your children? I have done a lot of research over the last few days with all the pros and cons of the age gaps, but they mostly focus on mothers body, sibling rivalry etc...

I would love for you to share how you physically felt, was it hard having 2 children in nappies?, how did you have to adjust routines etc.

I am thinking that I should wait until my LB is at least 6/7 months old before I TTC...(with the first pregnancy we fell pregnant in te h3rd month of trying)

Also I am expressing milk, but my period has started up again.

Lastly I am still 10kg overweight from last pregnancy...should I loose this first? Or just get the second one over with and then try get back my pre pregnancy figure? (LOL IF THAT IS EVEN POSSIBLE?).

Thank you ladies
