#AskTheExpert what is the Ideal age gap between the first child and sec child

9 Answers

A. The gap you leave between babies depends on when you and your partner feel ready to have another child. It also depends on when you're able to conceive. This can be difficult to control – even with careful planning! If you're in your late 30s, your fertility may influence how soon you start to try again. Women's fertility starts to decline from the age of 35 onwards. How long you decide to wait may also depend on your recovery from your last pregnancy. It's best for your health to recover from one pregnancy and birth before embarking on the next. Experts recommend at least six months, but preferably a year. On the plus side, one study showed that longer gaps can improve the reading and maths skills of older children. Siblings with more than two years' age difference scored better than children born closer together. This may be because they had more one-to-one time with their parents. Whichever age gap you choose, you're sure to make it work for you and your family.
