I am another with a small gap between chidlren (just under 18 months gap). Like the others have said, it is hard having two babies - a lot of the advice on how to entertain #1 while feeding #2 just doesn't apply when the gap is so small. It is hard and tiring but would I change it - no way! Again, like others have said, the boys don't know life without eachother. Their hate and rage turns to love and giggles within seconds (then switches back again, which is aways funny to watch!), they play together, they love the same movie, share clothes and food, encourage eachother, sleep in the same room and fret if the other is not there (Ollie wakes in the middle of the night crying for "Ninnie", and when I threaten to leave a dawdling Ollie ibehind in the supermarket, Flynn begs me to wait for his brother).

Now all of that said I am looking forward to having a bigger gap with #3, but that is purely because when you have 2 so close in age you tend not to get that raputrous "bablylove" time with the newborn. You are so busy with two that (personally) I didn't "look" at Ollie enough as a baby. But that can happen at any age - I doubt any subsequent child gets the same attention as the first did as a newborn.
