I had my kids really close together they are a year and 10 days apart both of their birthdays are in june and everyone gave me crap when they found out that I was pregnant with my second son that I should not have gotten pregnant again that soon, because i was not gonna be able to give my first son the attention that he was gonna need to have, From my experience having them this close together was the best thing that i could have done. They always have someone close in age to play with and they can wear the same size clothes and play with the same toys, they just seem happier together. They have a really close bond and do everything together. My youngest learns a lot from his older brother because he wants to do everything that he does, we are trying to potty train the first and my second wants to do it too because he sees bubba do. They sleep in the same room and they are like each others security. So let me know how you feel about this I am very glad that I had my children like this

That's total bunk! It just really irks me when people have to judge immediately! How can they possibly know what is best for your family? ONLY you can know that and it seems like everyone is happy and thriving - what else is there?

I see nothing wrong with stairstep babies, as long as the children are well taken care of, and the parents can afford them. All of my siblings are eighteen months apart, except for my youngest brother. I do not think there is anything wrong with it. We, as children were very close to each other, and still are to this day.
