Ideal Age Distance between First and Second Children according to Studies

SUKABUMIUPDATE.com – Family planning not only includes the number of children, but also the age gap between them. Experts advise that it is best to wait for the mother to fully recover before becoming pregnant again, also to ensure that the child gets adequate nutrition from breast milk or breast milk.

The distance of pregnancy is very important especially for women who have low iron levels.

Launch of Tempo.co, according to a review of studies, as quoted by the Times of India, Tuesday, August 4, 2020, there is a significantly higher risk of premature babies and low birth weight in babies conceived within six months after first birth. The 18-23 month gap between two pregnancies is the best and ideal because it gives you time to recover and replenish your body’s resources.

The risk is also seen in infants conceived in seven to 17 months, although it is lower than in infants in six months. Smaller gaps are also difficult because all costs are gathered and there is too much debate later on when children’s interests overlap.

However, it is also common knowledge that when the age gap is too much, younger siblings and brothers may feel less close to each other. Adding to this is the hatred of older children who feel that their position has been taken by newcomers.


Other studies have found that a gap of 59 months or more between two pregnancies is also associated with an increased risk of preterm birth and low birth weight.

It is best to wait at least seven months to one year before you start trying to get pregnant again. This will help you stay healthy and help your next baby to start healthier. Having two babies closer to each other can be emotionally and financially burdensome.

But in the end, it all depends, are you ready to have another baby?
