A 2-year gap is very practical because you can reuse the baby clothes and gear without storing them for too long. Plus, your body also gets enough rest to heal.

A gap of 3 years is great, unless you want to change double diapers at the same time, haha! Give yourself a break first!

My kids have a 4-year gap because we wanted to be financially and mentally ready. It was really nice because my elder one was independent by then.

I kept a gap of 2 years between my kids and it worked beautifully for my recovery. My body felt strong enough to handle the second pregnancy.

From my experience, at least 2 to 3 years is ideal. It gives you time to fully breastfeed the first one and lets your uterus heal properly.

Listen, don't rush into another pregnancy too fast. Give your body at least 18 months to recover its nutrients, otherwise you'll be constantly exhausted.
