A rather interesting read... Even more interesting to learn that the 'most optimal' time to have Baby #2 is before Baby #1 turns one year old or after Baby #1 turns 4 years old! I always thought the best time will be a gap of 2-3 years... 

Apparently, the reasons to support the above is - If Baby #2 comes along when Baby #1 is still very young, tendency to have jealousy issues are minimized because Baby #1 is too young to comprehend jealousy and/or to fight for attention. After Baby #1 turns 4 years old is also a supposedly ideal time because at that age, children are less self-focused and they have a social circle of friends from school or other adults besides the parents.
