I had my DD2 when my DD1 was 2 years and 10 months old
i found it a perfect balance as she was old enough to understand that mummy needed a bit of quiet time sometimes, that u have to be gentle with the baby, and she often ran around and helped me get things such as nappies and wipes etc!
also now thats shes 3.5 shes even more help! and as shes getting older shes getting very good at being quiet when needed, at sharing, and doing other sisterly things
