I have tried separating them in different play areas, diverting them when I suspect a fight is going to come on. I would really like to hear your expert advice on this. Sasha, this happens all the time in my home. It particularly happens when one is that 2 year age when they are very possessive of toys.
If it passes quickly I let it pass and let them sort it out. If one is always losing their toys, I intervene, separate, or take the toy away altogether. I love the idea of having my kids close but this is my biggest concern. I nursed them all as long as I could. I was also a victim, having uterine fibroid for many years. The size of my fibroid was very large as a grapefruit in my womb, trying to conceive was so hard. My difficulty was not only getting pregnant, but keeping the pregnancy.
I occasionally had reoccurring bouts with dysfunctional uterine bleeding due to fibroid tumors. I learned about some herbs mixture prepared by Priest Iyare and that was my breakthrough to a long standing problem. I already gave birth to a bouncing baby boy, very healthy, happy, and bright. I forgot to mention that my non-existent sex drive returned within just a few weeks of starting the herbs, this was a pleasant surprise.
If interested and ready to give a try contact him. I loved your coostosnooze class but my computer crashed and I lost all my login information. Is there a way you could help me get back in? We are planning on 2 and I would like to keep it with in easy reach! My email is Beth underscore almeida hotmail dot com. So happy I found this article! Lately, I have been slightly worried about all of the negative articles you can find online about health and behavioral issues and general problems with not waiting long enough between children.
But I know as long as I eat healthy, take my vitamins, and take care of myself, everything will be great! I just found out I am pregnant with baby 2 and there will be an 18 month age difference.
I wanted our babies close I am 36, so cant wait too long but now I have these overwhelming feelings of guilt and anxiety. Guilty that I am somehow robbing my first of his baby years and anxiety about nursing all the time when the second arrives and having a 1.
I have cried a LOT these past days and I know thats crazy. I think some of it is hormones, but I just need to know it will be okay, these feelings are normal and its the plan for our family.
Is this guilt normal? Its 18 months insanely close? I feel like everyone has 2 years, but whats 6 months. Kate, you will be okay. Your babies will be okay.
This is awesome in so many ways. I have one, am only having one and believe very much that all children benefit from structure, healthy sleep habits and compassion. Hi, I gave birth to my second child when my first born was 11 months. I had 5 babies and my biggest gap was 18 months. Pregnancy is hard, but your baby is so worth it. Hi Rachel, I was looking online for something to encourage me with raising 2 babies under age 1! One is a foster son who is 11 months old, and then unexpectedly I am also raising my granddaughter age 3 months!
On top of that I am a single parent and 61 years old. Donna, thanks for your encouragement and I pray you find wisdom and divine direction to help you raise these sweet babies.
What a woman you are! Hi Rachel, Thanks for such a great article. There seems to be limited info on closely spaced kids I have been searching the net for info. I have a 2. I would like to try for a 3rd now but have this horrible feeling of guilt about how it will affect my new bub.
I am also really concerned about not been able to continue breastfeeding until my 4 month old is 1 which I had hoped to do. Is it true my milk will dry up if I fall pregnant again? Thanks Ange. This makes me definitely feel way less crazy! I adore it! Anyway, thank you for this post!
Our 5th was a surprise and honestly it was hard. I am curious if you breast fed your babies, and if so, were you able to continue doing so while pregnant with the next? The thing I keep thinking about is wanting to continue breastfeeding our first as long as possible, but not sure if I will be able to produce anything for her. We have 6, 4, 3, 2 and baby 5 due in 6 weeks. Our 1st 2 are 15 months apart, then 14 months, then 12 months and 2 days.
So not many others can relate or understand what my life looks like. Very refreshing to read your story. I truly needed your encouragement to keep them on a schedule.
We followed babywide to a T and my husband is a pediatrician so life was good when they were all napping and little. Do you have any advice in this area. Thank you for putting together your blog and sharing your advice!!!! After the end of my first marriage in got married. In November had 2nd child. Reading your article reminded me of my days up to 4 kids and miss those days.
I always use to say the same things but as they grow up feels it is getting more tiring. Especially having 5 boys in the house can be a handful and a lot of noise. And this my story?? Hi Rachel! I am in exactly the same boat as you!
My four babies are all 12 months apart, and their birthdays fall in the same week, apart from the fourth, who was two weeks early! I love it though! Thank you for such an encouraging post! Do you have any advice for a three year old who is really whiny and sensitive, and generally cries a lot? Great advice and so nice to find a positive story.
I really struggle with the judgy comments, which is silly because I wanted the babies closed together. In the end I want 5, and I have no problem with having a baby every year. I dont love being pregnant so getting it out of the way would be nice. My son only sleeps on or next to me for naps and bedtime. We had been trying nap training but got nowhere. I guess we will try again and probably sleep training when he is better currently sick. Being a mom is awesome and I love that our family is growing.
We had our children close, too, and even today they all get along wonderfully!! We had 4 in 5 years and 1 more years later! Today, they are 28, 27, 25, 23 and 14!! Still loving every minute!! Hi Rachel, My husband and I would like to have our babies close together, as you have. I have a 4 month old baby girl, and I am thinking about 2.
But I am breastfeeding, and I have heard that it is hard to get pregnant and sustain a pregnancy while breastfeeding. Do you have any advice on this? Thanks, Rachel!
I have an almost 7 month old born October and just found out I am about 8 weeks pregnant… I am excited, but so nervous. I am back at work, so I am working a very demanding job and have my first baby on a very strict schedule.
Can you please share your experiences with this? My fiance and I just had a baby girl who is about to be 3 months in early December and we are thinking about trying for another baby. I read all your articles about Irish twins and they were certainly helpful. Premature babies can have a range of health problems. But there were higher risks to the woman — a 1.
Mandy Forrester, head of quality and standards at the Royal College of Midwives, said it was useful research that builds on what is already known about birth spacing. Health professionals will always support a woman in her choice, which will be about what is right for them and their pregnancy. After a while I decided to do a pregnancy test, to put my mind at rest. I was changing Daisy, then three months old, in the bathroom and quickly did the test. The thought of having two babies, knowing how hard it was to have one, meant that I was terrified.
We spent about the first week in shock. I cried a lot and we briefly discussed whether we could have this baby, and quickly decided that yes, we could. We made some quite drastic changes in our lives. We moved temporarily from Brighton up to Stamford, which is where my parents live, for two years to get some help. What the NCT says. When actively planning the best time to have another child, mothers generally think about the physical and emotional impact of pregnancy and birth and how it will affect the whole family and their lifestyle.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding can diminish the body's supply of iron, nutrients important for the mother and baby. The March of Dimes, an organization that aims to prevent premature birth, recommends women wait at least 18 months after the birth of a child before becoming pregnant again.
One of the public health goals of the U. Department of Health and Human Services called Healthy People is to reduce the percentage of pregnancies conceived within 18 months of a previous birth from 35 percent to 32 percent by
