I have one small baby and want to plan for a second child after some time. What is the recommended gap between pregnancies?
It is generally recommended to wait at least 18–24 months after giving birth before conceiving again. This interval allows the mother’s body to recover, restores nutritional reserves, and lowers the risk of complications for both mother and baby, such as preterm birth, low birth weight, or maternal anaemia. For the safest plan, consult your doctor or obstetrician, who can provide personalised guidance based on your health, type of delivery, and breastfeeding status.
