Just a spin off from the other thread about bigger age gaps. What are the pros and cons of kids spaced closer together?

Mine are two boys 20 months apart. It definitely wasn't planned and I was pretty overwhelmed and terrified when I got my BFP but so far we are loving it. DS2 is 9 months and DS1 is 29 months currently.

DS1 doesn't remember a time without his brother and he was just young enough when the baby was born that he didn't get jealousy issues. But he was old enough to understand that we had to be gentle with the baby. We were already in baby mode and had all the stuff so we didn't have to do much to prepare.

Cons were it sucked with work - I wasn't at work long before I had to leave for my second leave. Financially it was also tight. And we have no family nearby. We have two in diapers. I had barely weaned and gotten my cycle back when I got pregnant again, so my body was/is still a wonky mess. Two in daycare is soon going to be a reality. It's just a messy crazy day to day and will be for a few years.
