I had 2 under 12 months....of course they are now aged 9 months and 19 months. Come January next year ill have 2 under 2 (newborn and a 14 month old) plus a then 25 month old!

I found it so much easier then everyone made it out to be. I got them both into the same routine from a very early age.The go to bed at the same, feed at same time, play together. At first it was extremely hard as DD1 wanted my attention when i was trying to BF DD2...but she soon learnt that as soon as mummy was done...it was all 'me' time.

For me routine was the key element that made life so much easier.

Nappies for me was ok. I started off in sposies for DD2 and i was a bit lasy and DD1 was in them as well. Now they are both back into MCN and i use alot of OSFM so i dont have to worry about sizes. I have my lasy days and sposies come out!

DD2 went FF at 3 weeks and DD1 was (and still is) on formula so 2 lots there. but at least now they are on the same #3 and #4 teats.

Really i found it so much easier having them closer them spreading them out over a longer age gap...and as you can see between #1 and #2 is 11 months, and between #2 and #3 is a 14 month age gap
