mine are 20 mos apart. I have to admit it was hard the first few months, but once I got into a routine it wasn't so bad. Now that #2 is almost 1yo, I am really enjoying it. They actually play together now, and I can ub. Also, I did not have help, though I would recommend it, especially at the beginning, so you can do things with #1. [ Reply | More

My kid are 20 months apart. Tough in the beginning on the mother It will be wonderful after about two years. They will be interested in the same books / movies / toys. They will play together like good friends and be very fond of each other. So nothing to worry about. Get some support in the beginning so that you don't get overwhelmed in the beginning.
