4. Report of a WHO Technical Consultation on Birth Spacing
Date: 2005
We are continuing our list of the easiest age gap between babies: 5 research studies with this report that suggests that families wait at least 2 years between having children. They say this lowers the health risks for the mother and the next child. In their opinion, the ideal age gap is 3-5 years. Research also found that women who wait at least 59 months to have the next child face a higher risk for pre-eclampsia.
