I would say two, but my wife didn't want to have any more after the first one. That was one of the most bitter arguments we'd ever had, and it's probably the only thing I cannot quite forgive her for. (She's a great woman, but it's just a very painful issue for me.)

So my advice is to settle this early if at all possible.


[Edit to be more honest] I didn't provide as much support while our daughter was a baby as she needed. And we started late, so at this point it's fairly academic... Still, it hurt. A LOT. So try to avoid this kind of contention if you can.
