Just a note that you can get pregnant even though your period hasn't come back yet! Breastfeeding isn't a foolproof method to reduce the chances either :)
Other than that, I think this is really something to discuss with your husband. I used to struggle with trying to find a partner ASAP while building up my finances so that my son doesn't have a sibling too far off from his age. I ended up being so focused on that I forgot about my son, and I talked to others about it and realized it may not be a bad thing to have an age gap because at least I'd have the time to really pour into my son's life before #2 arrives :)
There's good and bad in every decision we make, but if you are looking to have #2, don't let the time factor get in the way if your finances are not safe yet. You should have at least 3-6 months of emergency savings set aside, along with enough for your #1 to at least get to primary school or so, and the extra needed for all the pregnancy checkups and baby items for #2 before you decide to have #2. The last thing you'd want is for your family to fall apart just because you wanted another child!
