My boys are 22 months apart. We said we'd probably try to go for a slightly larger gap between #2 and #3, like closer to 3 years.



We are thinkin the same thing.

Re: If you have/want a third child, what is the age gap?

i would like to have a 3rd at some point.

Ds#1 will be 4 in june.

Ds#2 is 3 weeks old.

So... i'd like to start trying for #2 when ds#2 is 2 years old.

I like the 3 year gap in between. Chat Icon

DD1 and DD2 will be 2.5 years apart. When we do go for DC3 i think we'll try for closer to 3 years apart, which is what we intended between DD1 & DD2, but got a little surprise! Chat Icon

we have two so far . Chat Icon and Chat Icon are 2.5 years apart.
if we have a 3rd i would wait till my Chat Icon ( now 7 months old) is about 2 years old.
i dont want too much of an age gap between my first born and the last..

The twins will be 20 months when DC #3 is born. We wanted to have all of our kids real close in age. DH is one of 5 and MIL had them all within 7 years. Everyone is super close and we like that. That's how we want our kids to be.

#1Chat Icon and #2Chat Icon are 20 months apart
#2Chat Icon and #3Chat Icon are 24 months.

So #1 was a little older than 3.5 when #3 was born.

I look at my 3 yo son now and I could not imagine having 2 younger than him. Not sure how we made it!!
