How long does it take to have a second child after a normal birth?

This year, the country's policy has been relaxed and mothers are allowed to have a second child. I believe that many mothers want a second child and want a companion for their child so that the two children can take care of each other. Many people have this question: how long after a normal birth can you have a second child? What is the limit? How long will it take to have a second child so that it will be better for the mother's health and the child's health? Let’s take a look at the following content to find out.

Ideally, it is best to wait four years between the first and second births. If the interval between two births is less than two years, the risk of infant death will increase by half. For the health of both mother and child, it is best for parents to wait until their youngest child is 3 years old before having another child. Children born too closely together often fail to develop physically or intellectually.

One of the biggest threats to the health and development of infants and young children is when mom becomes pregnant again. At this time, breastfeeding is suddenly terminated, and mothers do not have time to prepare suitable food for their children and cannot give them the care and attention they need, especially during their illness. The result will affect the normal growth and development of the child.

After pregnancy and childbirth, it usually takes a mother two years for her body to fully recover. If the interval between another childbirth is too short, it will pose a greater threat to the mother's health.

If women become pregnant again without fully recovering from childbirth, their newborns are more likely to be born prematurely and have low birth weight. Low-birth-weight babies often grow poorly, are more susceptible to illness, and have a mortality rate in the first year of life that is four times that of normal-weight babies.

The above content is my summary of how long it takes to have a second child after a normal birth. I believe that mothers who want a second child will have a better understanding after reading it, so that they can better choose the time to have a second child based on their actual situation, so as to have a better consideration of the health of themselves and their current children.
