When they were young, it was the closest to "losing it" I think I have ever experienced. It is hard, like you feel like you are dying hard. lol

PP here, but it's definitely worth it and the age gap is nice. You get one following right after the other and if you have the same gender, they share clothes really easily.

By whom? I thought the 24+ month recommendations was for the mother’s body to recover. My sister and I are 18 months apart and it’s wonderful FWIW. My mom is a twin and also has a wonderful relationship with her sister.

Do. Medical community. That's what I heard too. Older baby gets more individual attention and younger baby gets a womb that is ready for them. Same with mom. Her body is able to recover

Sure. No big deal. Get all the baby stuff out of the way.
