So what is the easiest age gap between babies? Do you have a child and you are planning the next one? Or would you like to start your family soon? Then you will want to check Insider Monkey’s article about the easiest age gap between babies – five research studies were written about in the article.

As for me I studied that three years are optimal between two babies. My parents did the same; my brother was three years older than me, which was pretty fine. We used to play together we did the same things, we were like twins. But I have a much older brother me; as a matter of fact he is 13 years older than me, which was too much. When I was under 10, he was an adult, we never played together, but what was very good, he always took care of us. Ha was a truck driver for long years, and he drove throughout the whole country. In summers he took us with himself and we saw lots of places. These are beautiful memories of mine.

However, the gaps between ages of your kids can pose different issues no matter how small or large the gap. Siblings are basically always going to fight. In order to get the right information, Insider Monkey has consulted sites like Baby Center, Parenting, Aha!Parenting, and The Alpha Parent. Insider Monkey got the conclusion that different age gaps can cause different mental and physical affects on mothers. The most popular five studies were grabbed by Insider Monkey and they ranked them by the year they were published.

We have picked two studies from their list: Number of Siblings, Sibling Spacing, Sex and Birth Order: Their Effects of Perceived Parent-Adolescent Relationships by Jeannie Kidwell. This study was released in 1981. This study says that age gap influences mental condition, especially when a first kid experiences it. In this case, participants showed a negative view of both themselves and their parents once a sibling was born as long as the older child was at least two years old. The other study in Insider Monkey’s list is Report of a WHO Technical Consultation on Birth Spacing, released in 2005. It says that family should wait at least two years between the children, because of the health risks for the mother, and the next child. To tell you the truth I agree with this study, and will surely read it.
