    There is an 18mth age gap between 3 and 4 ( only 6 mins between 1 and 2 LOL)
    I use and still do a side by side twin pusher, did use a sling when #4 was little

    As I had twins first I already had two cots, #3 has just gone into a todler bed now ( at 3)

    We had two car seats which they both still sit in to this day.

    rest when bubs rests for coping being pg whilst you have a little one.

    Dont feel guilty about the choice of having them close together, if this is what you want go for it, you will cope no matter how old they are.

    I agree with Vanita Kim. In the Oct baby bellies group Kate has about 15months between her girls, and Kirsty has 13 months. I am sure they would both say they love the small gap (but do find it busy LOL). Do whatever feels right for you. Bear in mind that not everyone has the choice of having them so close. When bfing AF can take a while to return. We were OTL (Open to Life, not using contraception) from very early on after Jack but AF didn't return for 7 months and then it took 3 cycles to conceive. I'm still considering another one quite soon (no AF yet, but again OTL atm) so it can't be that bad!
