There was an earlier thread about spacing for 2, but I was curious what people think is an ideal age gap for 3+. My 2 DS are 22 mos apart, financially I'd like to wait till there would be a 3 year gap between #2 and 3. DH thinks 2 years is ideal. We *may* want 4, and if I knew for sure we would want 4, I think waiting 3+ years and then having the next two as close together as possible would be best. But I don't think we will know for sure about wanting 4 until we see how we do with 3. What are your plans?

My lo is 6 months bit ideally we would want another lo on her second birthday
hard to say past that! It would be great to have two pairs of two, like you said.

#1 and #2 should be about 26 months apart. We want 3, so we are planning to have around a 3 year age gap between 2 & 3. This way we are hoping our #1 is out of college when #3 starts- so it's financial and because I want a longer break with the next pregnancy.

@shellio: We want 4 and my husband is leaning toward wanting to do what you mentioned... Our first 2 are 13.5 months apart and so we'd have a 3 year gap before #3 and have #4 right after. I'm not sure though!

We don't know if we want 3 or not yet… but we've discussed it, and IF we do have a 3rd, it'll have to be when our 1st enters Kindergarten so that we're not paying for 3 daycare tuitions. So ideally, the spacing between #2 and #3 would be 3 years apart. If finances weren't an issue, I'd want them to be 2 years apart!
I like having the two year age gap that I have between #1 and #2.

My LOs are 16 months apart. I want baby 2 to be at least 20 months + when #3 is born.

We'd space 3 out to at least 3-4 years after 2 to avoid 3 child care tuitions.
