When to share rooms

yeladim

We live in a 2 bedroom apartment. Currently, DS2 is sleeping in our room in a PnP. DS1 is sleeping in the room next door and has been sleeping in a regular bed for about 5 months now. The crib is empty in the next room and ready for the baby.
Should I go ahead and move DS2 to the crib or wait a while longer? Most nights he STTN but some nights he wakes up around 4 for a feeding and goes right back to sleep. I figure if I use a monitor, hopefully I can get him before he wakes up DS1. I am actually more concerned about bedtime. They both go to bed around the same time and it is a struggle as it is without them in the same room, where every 5 to 10 minutes I have to go back in to each of them. I feel like if they were in the room together, when one of them starts crying, it would keep the other from falling asleep. I have tried staggering their bedtime before, but they just both fall asleep around the same time. So what should I do? Go for it or wait a little while longer?

I would try it one night and see how it goes.  I am itching to get my 2 moved to the same room so we can have a guest room but DS is the worst sleeper ever so I'm not pushing it for awhile.

My girls don't share a room but while on vacation they had to. I totally thought it would be an epic fail but it worked out fine. My DD#1 talks up a storm before falling asleep and DD#2 was put down asleep and slept through all the chatter.

I would give it a try and see how it goes.
