Abstract:	This study aims to provide evidence on the association between the length of birth spacing and infant mortality, and the mechanisms by which the interval produces deleterious effect in child survival for the Nicaraguan experience. Using pooled data from the Demographic and Health Surveys of 1998-2011, the association is evidenced by using survival analysis. The results show that there’s generalized deleterious effect of the shortest than 18 months interval for Nicaraguan mothers, while finding indication of the existence of maternal depletion syndrome and sibling competition. A larger effect prevails for teenage mothers that space their children closely, possibly due to her unreadiness for childbearing and childbirth. While, the lack of wealth of the household and the inaccessibility to public health care of which rural areas suffer from, can play a large role in enhancing the deleterious effect of the short birth interval through the boost of any form of sibling competition. Concrete policy implications should be segmented by age groups and respond to different capabilities of family responses to deal with the potential effects of a short-spaced pregnancy and childbirth.
