About Sibling Age Gap
The gap is simply the absolute calendar distance between the two birth dates, presented in days, months and years. A smaller gap means closer play partners but heavier early-childhood load for parents. The decision to space children affects sleep, budget and sibling dynamics for years, and a hard number helps families plan the timing.
