there about 3 years between my girls, i think it's perfect. each one was out of diapers before the next came. they were big enough to "help" so they felt included. they are close enough in age they can play together but not close enough they fight all the time. i also have two step children that are within a year of my oldest and they fight over everything! so my opinion is to to wait a few years before trying for number 2

My opinion is try to conceive when your baby is 2 years old so you can breastfeed each one to term without being pregnant.
Then during pregnancy you can try to toilet train if they're ready.
We chose to conceive when my oldest was 1.5 so the kids are two years apart and it works well but I am breastfeeding both of them which isn't for everyone.
I'd never recommend pregnancy sooner then your child's first birthday. That's just not best for the baby as they loose out on being the baby.
So conceive when your baby is 1-2 years and I think it would work well.
Of course as long as you have stable jobs, a few thousand in the bank, and no debt. :)

I have a little boy who is 5 months and when he was about 2 months I wanted another one too!! It is better to wait a few years but i do want a little girl asap. Its funny how a woman getsthose instincts to want more!!

i would say 2-3 years apart. and it would be easier if your first is potty trained. but its entirely up too you. some people like having babies super close together. its whatever you think you can handle.but two is a hanful so make sure your ready.
