My 2 princesses are 20 months apart and TBH its not easy but i cope fine. I found the first 3 months the toughest but my DD2 was quite unsettled for the first 3 months and we had BFing issues that i felt put me under stress as it was something i really wanted to do. I did go through lots of nappies but my DD1 is now 2yrs and 3 months and TT so for me i only had 6 months of 2 in nappies. I found the hardest thing was/is DD1 wanting to "help" with everything and although it was/is lovely it can be very tiring and lots of patience is needed. If i turn my back for a second DD1 is undressing her and trying to change her nappy or trying to feed her etc. I found DD1 was a bit little to understand how fragile her sister was (she's even accidently broken her collar bone while i have been in the same room ) I will say though now DD2 is 7 months DD1 has more understanding it is alot easier. Although i say this in my mothers group there are 3 of us with less than 2yr gaps and my DD is the only big sister the others are big brothers and they show minimal interset in their new sis/bro's. The other mums cant believe how much my DD1 likes to be involve. All in all we have our good and our not so good days but i love how close my girls are already and i wouldn't change it for the world.

If you have any Q's do ask i'd be happy to answer.
