It can work wonderfully because your children can befriend each other, supporting and entertaining each other when you cannot do that for them.
But at the same time, I have a very high needs toddler and I know that there is no way that I could cope with two just her, at two years apart. I love my daughter dearly; she is my world. But she is so constantly in need of attention and interaction and I think I would be unable to give her what she needs with a second child in the home. It would be unfair to her and stressful for me.
Only you know your child. If you think yours is the sort that would do well with close aged siblings then go for it.
