birth spacing
Time between children
Birth spacing is the interval between pregnancies or births, particularly as a matter of family planning.
Health organizations recommend adequate spacing—typically two to three years—to reduce risks for mother and child.
Proper birth spacing allows the mother's body to recover between pregnancies.
