    Default Two babies?

    Has anybody had a variation for two babies under the age of one? Not twins.

    Just sorting through my potential replacements for September, and I have a couple of under ones who would have some crossovers on days.

    No I haven't and I don't think I would have 2 under one as it can be quite challenging especially if they go through the clingy stage. Are we actually allowed to have 2 under 1s I thought it was ever only 1.

    I had twins from 10 mths way back when, and had permission from Ofsted to do so, back when we needed it. I wouldn't have 2 under 1s... that said....Last year I had one baby turn 12 mths and then an 11 mth old came on that day! But, I'd had them both a while and knew it would be OK that day, and my other minded child was 3!
    It's hard work though when they are little... but at almost 2, they are a delight! It does depend on the children though!

    Thanks for the replies. Yes, I must admit, I wouldn't relish the thought of having two so young. It's just trying to juggle everything and everyone and fill up my spaces!

    For me it would depend how old they were (nearly 1 is very different to 6 months old), how many times a week I would have them both and which other children I would have at the same time.
