Hi hayley, my lo has just turned two but I know quite a few people who have had theirs close together and say it worked really well, I think there are pros and cons either way but on the plus side I believe it gives your lo less time to get clingy cause mine is a real mummy's boy and I'm already worried he's gonna get jelous. If thats what you always wanted to do and your partner is fine with it I'd say go for it. Amy x
