Is a 2-3 year age gap too much stress?

My daughter is 14 months old, and the idea of having another baby and giving her a sibling has crossed my mind. However, I’m worried about handling the newborn stage with a toddler. How do you catch up on sleep when you have a toddler to care for during the day? My husband works long hours, so I’d mostly be managing alone.

I do want a small age gap so they can share interests and grow up together, though I know that doesn’t guarantee they’ll get along. But the thought of no sleep and no chance to rest during the day is overwhelming.

Has anyone else felt this way? What did you decide, and what’s been your experience?
