It's the gap that suits you and you feel you can cope with.

My mother had a 13 month age gap between my brother and I because she left having kids til later - she said it was extremely hard, but I have to admit there is a LOT of animosity between the 2 of us and I haven't spoken with him in more than 6 years.

School was hard because there was one grade between us - we were always in each others pockets without wanting to be.

We are having a 23 month gap between my two because I have PCOS and that's the way it worked out. I wanted only 2 kids and ideally we wanted a 2 year gap (which we got) but we had losses in the middle.

2 years will be hard in the initial stages, but I figured they are still close enough in age we get all the hard stuff over with relatively early, there's enough of a gap in school for them and I got 2 years with Cooper at home before his sister comes along and I'll have another 2 years with my daughter when Cooper goes to school - so lots of good time with both....

FWIW - I has clucky wanting another almost straight away and when Coops was 2 months old we fell pregnant again
