jade-emma 17 months
jade-kayla 3 years 10 months
emma-kayla 2 years 4 months
kayla-this bubs will be about 21 months
i LOVE the 17 month gap, not so fussed on the 2yr 4 month gap
the bigger ones are good cause the older kids (well jade) enjoys helping out with kayla but they arent close like jade and emma are who play together all the time happily and are pretty close development wise.

We will have 2y 4m. I think it would have been better to have had this baby when Han was about 20m. But will let you know how it goes soon!

I have been wondering about this as well- been trying to decide if we would like to have a 3 or 4 yr gap between Ella & our second. Would be interested to her how people with a 3 year gap are finding it.

We had 22 months and it was just about right, Paris wasn't too crazy when baby was born, but she wasn't still at the needing to be carried stage for too long when i was preg either. and now the girls, despite their love hate relationship (fuelled by very different personalities) are great mates, and the clothes go from one wardrobe to the next without too much lag-between as well - saves on storage.

I love it. Maya was old enough to really understand the pregnancy, and she was independent enough to cope when I was really tired and sick the first few months and she's been great with the gremlins. We do have the odd jealousy fit and she does get cross when they get in her room and destroy things but for the most part they play together really well and the gremlins absolutely love her to bits, they follow her round like little puppy dogs.
The smaller age gap pregnancy-wise has been much harder, in the early weeks I struggled just to get thru the day coz I was so tired and sick and the gremlins are so physically demanding, i can't just plant them in front of a DVD or take them to the park and let them run riot if I'm too tired to cope, they need constant attention.

jake and taine are 15 months apart. was really tough in the beginning, but good now. when we finally have number three, probably about 3-4 years between baby and the boys.

Rico & Gia - 2 yrs 3 mths
Gia & Jett - 22 mths
So not much difference, roughly 2 yrs. I would've liked a bigger gap between Gia & Jett (like another yr), but Jett was an oopsey daisy  .

There is 2 years 9 months between Andrew and Josh and I love it. I'm going to try for the same again. Andrew was toilet trained and very independant so it was great.

19mos then 17mos! I like the just under 2yr gap because the toddler settles in to "normal" fairly quickly and sleeps a lot
