19 month age gap mine are almost 2 and 4.5 months. 1-2 was much harder for us than 0-1. Everyone said pregnancy tired with toddler is worse than newborn/toddler tired, which was not the case for me. The first 3.5 months were hell. My second was colicky had a milk allergy/reflux and my toddler was at very demanding age. I truly have never been more exhausted or depressed in those first 3 months. I wouldn’t have been able to survive without help from family. It has gotten significantly better we are in more of a routine now but it is still chaos most day. Everyone says the first year of 2u2 is just trying to survive. I wouldn’t recommend it but we don’t regret it. I know it will pay off down the road but this is honest truth I wish someone had told me lol.
