Having kids with a two year age gap and a three year age gap. Tell me your experience, do they get along, are you happy you had no 2 (or 3,4,5,6) when you did, hard or easy to manage. We are trying to decide when to start trying for number two. My baby fever is INSANE, but I'm not sure we're ready yet. Pyper is 16 months, still nursing, super attracted to mama. My OG plan was to start trying once we stop nursing but I don't ever see that happening 😂
My boys are 19 months apart. Youngest didn't even wait until my oldest was 2 😂
They get along about as well as you'd expect brothers to. My oldest loves the youngest and makes sure I never forget him (shares his food, runs to get him out of the car, panics if I walk inside while his brother is still out) the youngest loves to play with the oldest, but doesn't always want him around. 😂 it wasn't really hard to do them close together. My oldest has always been easy going, and I knew what I was doing the second time around.
I don't think my bond with either is different than the other. They just have different ways of getting love and attention. My oldest loves to be on his own and figure out how things work, and he loves his dad more by now, so I just feed him and have the occasional tickle fight and he's good. My youngest is a huge snuggle bug. He's stuck to my leg all day. I have to just go about my business dragging one leg around, basically.
@mommabear17, how is your bond with each of them individually? I'm sorry if that sounds so ridiculous lol my biggest fear with having another is the bond I have with Pyper being damaged 😖 we are so so close, i was an only child on my moms side and she was my bestfriend, so I just have no reference!
I felt that same way youre feeling and i figured out that it was because i wasnt ready and in the back of my mind i knew i needed more bonding time with him while he was still just a baby himself. Im still not trying but i feel ready now because im not worried about that anymore. That fear went away recently now that i used the time with him to bond with him and he is older, personally i dont worry about it anymore. Then again, i didnt have strong baby fever like that when he was your baby girls age 😂. For me it only just truly started to sink in a few months ago that i might be ready again.
