I know from experience that it did not work for me to have another infant with my own. I think I could do it if they were both older infants, but not the under 9 mo crowd. When my 2nd child was 2 mos, I started caring for a 5 mo old. I could do it physically, but I felt like I was not able to devote the amount of time I wanted with my own. Right now I have a 4 mo old of my own, I get infant calls all the time, and nothing else. But I keep saying no. Either a 2 and up will come along, or I just will not have the extra income right now.
